Thanks for the suggestion. It sounds a good idea. Do you mind to send a PR for this?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,366626025

Thanks for the raising an issue.

In that case, you can use [`swap_dims`](http://xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/generated/xarray.Dataset.swap_dims.html),

```python
In [1]: import xarray as xr
   ...: ds = xr.Dataset({'x': ('i', [0, 1, 2]), 'y': ('i', ['a', 'b', 'c'])})
   ...: ds
   ...: 
   ...: 
Out[1]: 
<xarray.Dataset>
Dimensions:  (i: 3)
Dimensions without coordinates: i
Data variables:
    x        (i) int64 0 1 2
    y        (i) <U1 'a' 'b' 'c'

In [2]: ds.swap_dims({'i': 'x'})
Out[2]: 
<xarray.Dataset>
Dimensions:  (x: 3)
Coordinates:
  * x        (x) int64 0 1 2
Data variables:
    y        (x) <U1 'a' 'b' 'c'
