Scaling-factor dimension-name?
(OP)
Hi,
How do I determine the scaling-factor dimension-name in order to insert it in a design table?
Thanks

RE: Scaling-factor dimension-name?
A better way to address this is to take all of the dimensions that "qualify" such as all linear dims excluding angular dimensions, and place them in a design table. Using excel functionality, you can take the default configuration dimension values and in the row underneath create a formula to drive the next config. For instance if I have a part that I wanted to scale 23, 24 and 25%, I would just create the design table and make a formula muliptlying the first set of dims by 1.23, 1.24, and 1.25 respectively. This will create three new configs that show the correct scaling values.
The beauty of this is that for those applications where you need the dimensions on the drawing side to reflect it actual scaled size this is the only way to acheive them to display properly. As with normal scaling, the original dimensions are not affected and display as they were created.
Hope this helps a little
