Thank you for your entry. This is how I do it exactly right now. In knurl cap I create exported automatic parameter "Cap_Thickness" where I subtract thread depth from the total height of the cup to  get thickness of the cup above housing. In housing I export parameter "Housing_Height". In assembly I create constraint between facing pages, than name distance parameter "Gap" and enter distance of say 0,5 mm (used for rubber for example).

 

Than I calculate overall height parameter summing those up. But in general, Inventor knows this value using parameters or not. My question is still the same - what is the best way to get this distance between two faces directly in the assembly.

 

Thanks again

BTW, I like your nickname a lot.
