Is there a way to store a dimension in a variable for use elsewhere?
I know it is possible to define a variable and use it in dimensions, but I need to do it the other way around. I have a length that is the result of various other constraints, and I want to use this to calculate the angle of a "flattened" cone, so that the length of the arc is equal to the circumference of a circle with… -
Re: How can you smoothly connect two circles on different planes with a tube?
Thanks @eric_pesty. I've taken a look at that. At first, I thought it wouldn't work, as it seemed more like free-hand 3D line drawing rather than calculated, but by playing with it, I figured out the "anchor" variables. I've managed to get it to do very nearly what I need by having a line coming out from the face of the… -

Bug: Variable does not work in an expression for extrude length
Expressions using variables work in sketches but not in features like extrusions it seems. For example (#width/2 + 2) works as a sketch dimension but not for an extrude length. The extrude length will however handle "single term" expressions. For example: #width #width/2 2*#width all will work, but #width + 2 will not. Is… -
Re: How to find the right bolt in when inserting standard content?
I am with you. If there was an input (search) field in the insert dialog, where we could alternatively just input "ISO 10642", we'd only need to specify length and thread and we'd be done in a fraction of the time. Old standards should automatically refer to matching new standards. The classes used in the dialog appear to… -
Re: issue with sweep
I believe the issue is 1) where the triangular profile touches the edge of the original part - or 2) the pitch is the same as the length of the side of the triangle profile 1) try separating the triangle (create a gap) from whatever geometry you used to position it to the original part by a very tiny fraction. - or 2)… -

Help Making Configurable Tube
I regularly rely on configurable parts to make changes in higher level assemblies without breaking mates. I have configured many parts and generally understand how to do so. However, I am struggling to figure out what the best architecture would be for creating a configurable tube. The properties that need to be configured… -
