relations help

[krow72]

Is there a way to clump numbers in relations. I am placing multiple ribs in a part and want them all to be the same length.In the relations box I have to make them line by line.


d2 = d1


d4 = d1 etc...


Is there a way to make multiple d#'s to equal another d#.


d2,d4,d6,d8 = d1


Please help.

Can you pattern the ribs? That is the easiest way to have multiple features with the same dimensions. Alternately, I would use something like an offset datum and align the end of the ribs to it. then the dimension is controlled by the datum. Change it and all the ribs change.

set a parameter to rthick then make d2=rthick d4=ribthick ect...

dr. G,


can't pattern. The part is snake shaped with ribs on different angles.





D-E,


I am using a parameter now but do not want to write it out line for line. Do you know if there are any symbols that will link numbers together so I can use just one line of code.





Thanks for the replies.
