Pro/E Wildfire 4.0 Dimension Relations

Hi.


I've recently been trying to use relations to reduce the amount of dimensions i need to edit when resizing my part.


This usually consists of Tools > Relations. Then adding something on the line of


sd1=10


sd0=sd1*10


This works for me inside of sketches. But Outside of the sketch, on the main level, it will not work. For example


d0=10


d1=d1*10


Can anybody help me with this problem?


Thanks in advance, Lukas
 
Hi, Thanks for your reply


That was my mistake, for the example i mean d1=d0*10.


The problem i am having is it wont let me create relations on the top level, only within the sketch. I would like to create top level relations so i can include extrude length and cross feature relations.


Does this highlight my problem more?


Thanks in advance, Lukas
 
Hi, problem solved. The relations do work, i started my part again, and it worked fine. I think the problem built up, i know define my relations at every step, rather than all at the end.





Thanks
