2) I sketch a line (or circle or...)with a certain length (radius ...). After that I use this line (cyrcle) especialy for equal dimensions (with my line or with the radius of my circle);
3) It is an other posibility if you use DESIGN TABLE. You can put in some cells your driven dimensions and perform calculations using EXCEL facilities.
Hope that help you but I am sure that exist many other posibilities.
I have given my assembly model several mates. I need to move a group a specific distance. I thought I could create a driven dimension and move the components around where I need them accuratley. I remember doing this in an older version of SW. 2008 hides a few things...
