Drop Down menu in Sketch Symbols

Drop Down menu in Sketch Symbols

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi Guys,
I am into a drawing where I need to place a symbol and put the length of my 3D model in such a way that the length I would enter through a "Prompted Entry" but the unit must have "meter, millimetre & Inches" as options in drop down list preferably. Please refer to the snapshot below.
If anyone has any idea will be greatly appreciated.

I am using Inventor 2017

Hi! I guess you may want to use iLogic Form, instead of Prompted Text. You can set up the form just like what you wanted.

Many thanks!

Or, you could define three different symbols, one for each unit type.  But the form sounds like the better solution.

Yes, that’s what I was doing by creating 3 symbols but to make it easier and simpler I tried this. Would be nice if we have any such existing options to make a drop down menu.

Thanks, I am not much familier with iLogic but I will try anyway.

It is indeed very good idea! Similar to ACAD smart blocks.

Ex. I want several arrows in my symbol. Now I have to have different symbols per arrow. Would be nice to have 1 symbol with choices.
