Feature offset dimensions (boss/cut)
Feature offset dimensions (boss/cut)
(OP)
Haven't been here in while.
I'm trying to link the "From" offset dimension a feature to an existing dimension elsewhere. As in offsetting the sketch "x" millimeters from the sketch plane and then continue with the rest of the feature. Clear?
Am I missing how to get the dimensions to link? If I double click the feature, that particular dimension doesn't display. Any sugesstions?

Reason trumps all. And awe transcends reason.

Make a sketch, select the option to extrude.
In the first option box of Extrude: "From" options - Sketch Plane, Surface/Face/Plane, Vertex, Offset. Select offset and make the distance whatever, say 10mm
Make a blind extrude, 10mm and finish the feature.
By double clicking the feature in the tree, after creation, it will only show the blind extrusion depth, but not the offset depth.
Is this a better explaination?
Any suggestions?
