Reference A Loop Length

[justinpcaris]

Is it possible to reference the length of a looped sketch/edge and use that in an equation in parameters.  The length will change based on user imputs so I cant just get it 1 time and manually enter the number.  Im looking for the green line in the example.  Thanks for the help.

1. Go to the dimension that defines that loop. if non exist create one even if it is driven. If its driven you wont be able to modify it just skip this next step and look for that dim.

2. Edit that dimension, type in dimLoop1= before the numbers and press enter.

Go to parameters now and you will see dimLoop1

Now in any dimension you can create an equation (dimLoop1/2)*2 or something. 

GoodLuck!
