Tools -Switch dimensions will show you the parameters that are stored for the chamfer dimensions.

You can enter a relation right in the edit box of the value or use the relation editor.

I frequently use a chamfer for the lead-in on a threaded screw and set the value to be 10% of the nominal thread diameter.

So I have a thread diameter which I rename to Nominal and then set the chamfer relation to Nominal*.1.

Thanks a lot ben.. I am in different timezone and not having creo with me now.. I will try this tomorrow..

As I am very new to creo designing; if someone has come across any detailed document showing steps to do same, it will be of great help. This will ensure that I will not come across queries on the suggested steps by Ben.
