Michael,

 

thank you very muh for you input. I use tehcniques you have shown all the time when creating parts and assemblies. My original question was about how to get some dimesion, which is not explicitly known, into parameter. As in my example, where the overall height is sum of the height of the housing, height of the lid's bottom and the distance between the lid and the housing defined when placing a constraint.

 

Of course I can caluculate the overall height from data (parameters) given. But Inventor "knows" the value very vell already as you can annotate the overall height. I'm looking for the best way to get this value into parameter that will be later used for something else, eg(pseudo code)

      UpperPlane_Height = 30  mm

      Overall_Height = <annotaded_dimension_0>

      MountingHole_Depth = Overall_Height - UpperPlane_Height

so that "MountingHole_Depth" will be calculated autmatically when I play with other dimensions.

 

Regards

Goran
