Punches

Can you make a punch and have it driven by one adjustable dimension?

Thanks,

Yes you can create punches where the dimensions of that punch can be modified during punch placement. 

For example you could have a rectangular punch where you could specifiy length/width before you "punch" with it.

How would I do that? In this case I need my text height to be adjustable.

Thanks,

When extracting (extract ifeature button) the feature for punch creation you simply pull the parameter you want to be able to adjust over to the right hand columns. 

So click on it in the left hand (Selected features) side to bring it over to the "size parameters" section. 

 

Haven't done one in a while but I seem to remember extruded/cut text does not work with punches.. I could be wrong though.

Text does work with punches but I the font height does seem to be linked to the parameter table... How can I link it?

Thanks,
