Passing configured dim from part to sub to full assembly?
Hi All, newbie here but I'm loving this platform. I'm trying to put a bunch of subassemblies in a line in an assembly and I want the space between them to be even despite their varied sizes so that they look nice and neat. The math is 1/2(width of part n + width of part n+1) = spacing. I have all my widths defined in a… -
Re: Passing configured dim from part to sub to full assembly?
@Anne_Nixon Just to clarify your initial request a little bit with an example: * Let's assume three sub-assemblies with widths equal to 1, 2 and 3. * Spacing between 1 and 2 would be 1/2*(1+2) = 1.5 * spacing between 2 and 3 would be 1/2*(2+3) = 2 Is that correct? As @romeograham mentioned, there really isn't a way to pass… -
Re: Passing configured dim from part to sub to full assembly?
This is an interesting challenge. The way that you've written the math seems to require that part n knows what size part n+1 is. If you have a consistent arrangement of variably-sized parts in your assembly, this is probably workable. (You can Configure parts in an Assembly - and set the part's variables to be equal to…
