Dear all,
Any suggestion to my CAD model of Flange coupling parametric model.
User will input shaft dia and flange coupling will generate.
Let me know suggestion if you have any.

You've discovered the value of variables, however, the key slot and fastener hole sizes are most likely standard sizes and using a variable may not be the best way to control those features. I suggest you look into Configurations. Using configuration(s) in your model would provide a means to control features (such as the key slot size and fastener holes) that may not be suited to using a variable. Also, it would provide a means to select a model configuration (#Shaft_dia_d) without editing the value. After being built, a configuration table could provide a drop down list at the top of the feature tree that, if configured correctly, would list shaft sizes.
The Learning Center has a course for Configurations.
