TEXT within sketch driven by dimension and/or equation
TEXT within sketch driven by dimension and/or equation
(OP)
I modeled a set of 6" calipers, and in the spirit of over doing it I wanted to try to get the digital display to read the measured value. As it is right now the display is a sketch using the text function. Is tere a way to link the text value to the driven dimenison between the caliiper jaws?

Or create two dimensions, one driving and one driven, and use the driven dimension in the display.

It's not possible to link sketch text to a dimension (or anything else for that matter). It would be possible to use a macro feature to change the text, but that's probably way further than you're interested in going.

Create and dimension sketch. Close.
Add blank note.
Open sketch.
Click note to open and then click dimension.
Close note.
Go to your drawing and click Insert, Model Items, Annotations.
Your noted dimension should show. Hide other dimensions.
On my system, I can change my dimension from my drawing and it will update my model.
