Set two polygons to be equal

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have two polygons and want to set their dimensions to be equal. I have manually added a dimension to one polygon. If I add a dimension to another polygon then how do I link the two dimensions together, so that changing one dimension would automatically update the other?

Or is there some other way to link the dimensions together?

When you add the second dimension instead of entering a number just click on the dimension of the other polygon, you should end up with a "d" and a number something like d10. Every dimension is assigned a parameter when it's created, if you open the Change Parameters dialog on the create menu you can inspect and change them there.

When you select a dimension it should look like this, the Ø50.00 is d1

What Mark has suggested is one way. Depending of what you have dimensioned you can also use the "equal" constraint and only dimension one object.

Thanks so much guys! Both solutions worked but accepting Mark's solution since his solution was applicable to my scenario.
