Is it possible to put a formula into a block definition so that a length dimension is set by a formula? I want to have 3 user parameters, and change a length parameter based on a formula using those 3 parameters. For example, Distance1 = A*B/C
Dynamic parameters cannot accept a formula. As I said before, though, parametric constraints can. Here's a screencast example. I didn't use Parameters Manager, but rather just altered the definitions directly. Either way works.
So, the action parameters can't be set by formula, but I can set lengths and angles by formula using constraints. I have to decide to either set the values by constraints or by actions, not both.
Yup. I wish the two played together better or rather I wish dynamic parameters accepted formulae. If they did, I would have absolutely no use for constraints at all. There isn't a single task that would not be done more easily using the dynamic parameters/actions. That's not the case, though, and you've hit on one of the three uses I've found for constraints.
