sketch equations?

I would like to define a dimension as equal to another dimension over 1.618. How do I accomplish this?

    Here's one way.

    1. First define a variable that will hold the value for the first dimension (Size_A in the screenshots)

    2. In the sketch set the dimension of the first item to the variable you created (#Size_A in the first screenshot).

    3. Set the dimension of the second item to this equation max(#Size_A, 1.618) as seen in the second screenshot.

    Whenever you change the variable Size_A, both dimensions should match as long as the value is equal to or greater than 1.618. If the value is lower than that, the second dimension should stay at 1.618.
