parametric node - added measurements/ dimensions not parametric

Hello,

 

I experienced that my parametric drawing does not work well with my added measurements.

Changing the parameters of the drawing (angles, leghts) results in unalighned measurements.

Would there be any solution to properly lock and align the dimensions to the geometry?

 

see pictures attached.

You need to post the file here inorder for us to understand what parametric constraints have been used.

Hi,

 

what do I have to do to see errors?

 

When I change the angle in your dynamic block from 80 to 60 or to 90, I get these results ... looks all well for me.

after opening your drawing , i think that you're NOT using any parametric dimensions !! i think you should check DIMASSOC (System Variable) = 2 .

After checking DIMASSOC I found it was set to 2 before, so that did not help.

I still do not understand why just some dimensions are parametric.

As you can see in my model there is one vertical measurement off as soon as I change the node angle from 90 to 80 for example.

I have another model where some other dimensions are off as well.

Hi,

 

>> As you can see in my model there is one vertical measurement

Turn on ANNOMONITOR ... and you most probably see the reason (which dimensions don't have their assoc points fully assigned).

Thanks, that really works.

Now I can reassign the measurement points.

Great work!
