Making Referenced Parameters usable to calculate other geometries parameters.

Making Referenced Parameters usable to calculate other geometries parameters.

I noticed that currenly it is not possible to use a referenced dimention for defining other parameters. Let's say that I would like to adjust the diameter of an inner-circle to e.g.1/3 of the diameter of an outer-circle that is fully constraint with tangent inside some geometry. In this senario the outer circle can only have a reference dimention added but it can change in size if the rest of the geometry that is tangent to it, is modified. Right now I have to implement a complex function to find a relationship with other parts of the geometry so that it will correspond to the desired 1/3 (in this case) that i am trying to implement.

 

It would be simpler if I could use the reference parameter to directly calculate the desired 1/3.

you can do it how you wont, it will be a constrain stopping you from doing it, some time having constraints makes thing not work quite right, often if you remove all the constraints it come right.

@Anonymous it's a long road to get the order correct just keep hammering it. they will improve it more it is better than a year ago, just keep at it and ask question there are way more experienced boys that can solve most problems in the forum

Thank you all for your help. In a somewhat related topic, is there a reference page with the description of all available fuctions and operators in fusion 360? Can it do all the fuctions available in Microsoft Excel for example or are they limitations that we should be aware of? Thank you again until next time...
