Table Driven Dimensions

e.sharkey — Wed, 01 Jun 2016 16:26:42 GMT

Hi, I am attempting to use the values within a table to drive the dimensions of a drawing. Basically, the values entered in the table will change the actual dimension of the drawing automatically. I'd like to have a each specific dimension linked to a cell in a table. When the values in the table cells are modified, the drawing will adjust to match. Is this possible? Thanks

What exact software are you using, and what version software is it?

You can do that with Parametrics and the Parametric Manager. Set Annotation Contraint Form so the dims will show and print, CCONSTRAINTFORM from the command line or pick from the Ribbon to set that.
