Create a driven dimension manually

[juliangall]

If I fully constrain a sketch and then add a dimension, it becomes a driven dimension. I can then remove a constraint, but the driven dimension is still there and still driven.

Is there any way to add a driven dimension manually to a sketch that is not fully constrained? i.e. To arrive at the same point as above.

Thanks,

Julian

Thank you. I see that when I do this, it no longer shows a parameter name when I hover the mouse over it. I guess this means I can't reference it in other dimensions if it's driven. Why would that be?

Because apparently the Fusion team does not communicate with their Autodesk Inventor teammates "across the hall".

How do you make a driven chamfer then ?

[jhackney1972]

Create a Parameter that will drive the Chamfer size.  The Chamfer will use the parameter as a Driven dimension.

This is a 7-year-old discussion thread.

Fusion has changed to allow driven dimensions in parameters.
