Using Expression to Control Line Length
Using Expression to Control Line Length
(OP)
Hi guys,
I'm playing around with our template right now and want to use an expression to control the length of a line. I can't get the line's length to update when I update the expression and was wondering if it isn't possbile to do.
When sketching on the sheet, I can get a line to update the way I want it to, but not with a line not within a sketch.
I attached an example. Thanks in advance,
Chris

But the OP already said that he did NOT want to use a Sketch. Without using a Sketch, there is no way to do this in Drafting.
