Variables in equations
Variables in equations
(OP)
Hi SW users.
I´m new to this section of Eng-Tips, only visit the ProE part before. After ten years with ProE, I´ve now switch over to SW and have a question regarding variables in equations.
Is it possible to use variables, and where should I put them?
Regards
Peter

How to Create a Variable in an Equation
• Start a new part, sketch, draw a line and dimension it.
• Create new equation, and select Add.
• Make this equation first: ("D1@Sketch1" = "D1@Sketch1"+1). Select OK.
• Select Edit All.
• Add this line (before the previous equation): MYVAR=1.
• Change your original equation to this: ("D1@Sketch1" = "D1@Sketch1"+MYVAR).
• Select OK, OK.
It should look like this:
MYVAR=1
"D1@Sketch1"="D1@Sketch1"+MYVAR

btw; I was at sw-user-day in holland lately and they told me using variables in equation was acompletely new function and I thought hmmm, I've been using variables for quite a while now... But I have one following quastion: Are you able to steer the variables in a designtable in sw2005??

Use the equation for controlling a domes shape with its diameter and thickness as variables.
