Mathematics in dimensions

Hello all,

 

I use a certain matematical function very often when dimensioning a std keyway (kw*kw)/(4*bore)+req'd depth. Would there be anyway to get a shortcut of some type into the dimension box?

 

tks! =]

Make a parameter and the use the named parameter whenever that equation is needed.

 

Might just make it an iFeature that you pull in whenever needed.

Hey JD,

 

I have never done this. Do you have a linky by chance to one of your handy dandy tutorials? 🙂

You could do something like this and use it as a template.

You could also make a Form after to make things easier.

And have something like this one button click away.

I hope this Helps.
