Question

Relations.

Associates,

I have a user that wants to make a series of dimensions from
different features equal to the same value (IE. d1,d12,d33,d744=50). Does
anyone know if this can be done with relations and what the syntax would
be? Thanks.

    I have the same question does anyone have a way to write this beside individually?

    d17d18d19=d20

    In other words I want 3 dim to equal 1 other without writing them on separate lines!

    Not like this

    d17=d20

    d18=d20

    d19=d20

    Any ideas?

    Thanx

    I do not think that is an option.

    Why would you want to have that many dimensions equal to another instead
    of creating a parameter that spells out what that information is and then
    put the dimensions equal to the parameter?

    For example:
    d17 = general_radius
    d18 = general_radius
    d19 = general_radius
    d20 = general_radius

    The reasoning is that the design intent is more clearly communicated.

    The reason I can think to not allow multiple dimensions equal to the same
    variable (dim, parameter or otherwise) is what happens to the relation
    when one of those dimensions goes away?

    Hello all,

    If someone really wants it the functionality is available through either J-Link-WF4.0 or Pro/Toolkit ( 2001 and up). There is an example in each respective manual of how to make a customized relation function.

    The chapters '<u>Adding a Customized Function to the Relations Dialog Box in Pro/ENGINEER</u> ' in WF4 J-Link user guide and in Pro/Toolkit User Guide explain the process and provide an example.

    HIH.

    Feliks.
