We are moving from Pro/e to Solidworks. I guess I'm just searching it wrong, because I am unable to find any solutions.
When sketching, and I want to reference one dimension with another, how and where is that input? Suppose I want to link an angle to a center line. Two lines are 40 degrees apart, and I want them each 20 degrees from the center line.
In Pro/E, when sketching, I would dimension the 40 degree angle, calling it "mainAngle". Then, I would dimension the line 20 degrees from the center, inputting a formula "mainAngle/2". If at some point in the future I want 42 degree separation, the 20 degree angle would update itself to 21 degrees.
What am I over looking in solidworks to do this?
