Path Length Dimension

Path Length Dimension

A path length dimension would be amazing for modeling and interacting with belts.

My situation is: I have a bunch of fixed length belts and I need to wrap one around 3 pulleys, I would like to be able to dimension the total length around multiple sketch curves. If that didn't make sense, here is a video:

Definitely agree. For belts and mechanisms this would be a godsend.

 

Especially if you can define the specific anchor points, and then define a line of action elsewhere. This would mean that you could do kinematic synthesis for cams, rockers and complex mechanisms instantly.

I work as a tent designer, and need to define the length of a tent pole as a main parameter, and playing around with curvature is secondary.
