PARAMETERS AND RELATIONS

[cspinelli]

Hi everybody,

i have a question about relations and parameters: i'm trying to make an udf to cut an involute gear but i cannot add a variable parameter as i've make them on part. if i make variable parameters on a feature i have to replicate on all the features, correct?

do you have any suggestions?

thanks!

I create for UDF Annotation Elements and add to him parameters and relations.

This annotation elements include to UDF.

[cspinelli]

thanks, but you add annotation AFTER inserting UDF correct?

for example, in the image you added, if i want to insert UDF and change diameter or number of teeth when i'm inserting UDF is it possible'

A first create Annotation Elements.

Add all parameters and add relation, if needed.

Create all features, if need, I add realation for feature.

To UDF I add all elements with AE.

AE includes all parameters for create UDF.

This parameters I add to variable parameters UDF.

Image for UDF

You can use parameters AE's or add as variable for UDF.

I use this parameters in famaly table for UDF.
