Using an analysis feature in sketcher relation

Using an analysis feature in sketcher relation

Using an analysis feature in sketcher relation

(OP)
Hi.

I am trying to use an analysis feature in a sketcher relation. The feature name is "ANALYSIS_FEATURE_1", and it is the length of a line feature that precedes a sphere feature. The length of the line is to act as the radius for the sphere being sketched:
sd0=length:FID_ANALYSIS_LENGTH_1

but I get the error, "errorInvalid symbol 'length:FID_ANALYSIS_LENGTH_1' found."

What the heck am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any answers!

RE: Using an analysis feature in sketcher relation

Sorry...I figured it out. I created a relation in part mode:
radius = length:FID_ANALYSIS_LENGTH_1

Then in sketcher, I accessed radius:
sd0 = radius

RE: Using an analysis feature in sketcher relation

does &length:fid_analysis_Length_1 work I guess it's not able to analyze the data from the other features from within the sketch but I'm not using Creo while I sit here right now.

RE: Using an analysis feature in sketcher relation

No. I had already tried that and it failed. That was also in a procedure that I wrote before Creo (Mine is just ProE5 revamped before Creo became Creo). So apparently it used to work, but not necessarily anymore.
