Identifying source of reference parameter

avery.hogue — Fri, 02 Jun 2023 15:18:53 GMT

I need to identify the source of this reference parameter (d19). How do I know where it gets this metric so I can go edit it at the source?

Thank you.

Somewhere between d18 and d20.

WorkPlane3 and Chamfer1.

My guess is WorkPlane3 is 111.75 from something.

If I may add to what Sherlock pineapple.law1972 has deduced; I see that d19 is consumed by G_L which is a user parameter that one has commented as "Length". Perhaps that gets you a little closer to an answer.

G_L means Content Center part.

This is clearly a structural shape published to Content Center. G_L is the finished overall length, which is set equal to d19.

Can't tell any more than that. If you'd like additional help, post the file here and I'll bet one of us can figure it out. What version of Inventor?

Hi! This is likely a frame generator member. The d19 is a driven dimension in a sketch deducted from a projected edge. I suspect it was related to d14 which drives the termination plane of the frame member.

Many thanks!
