Quantized sketch.

Quantized sketch.

Quantized sketch.

(OP)
Hello all,
I was curious if anyone knows of a way to quantize a dimension on a sketch.
I have a dimension that starts at a value as low as 44, and can be increased by increments of 50.

Example of values allowed: 44, 94, 144, 194, ..., 2094, .....

Thanks!

RE: Quantized sketch.

I would use and equation either in SWx or in a design table. x=44+50*y. In SWx you will need to make a dummy dimension associated with 'y'. In a design table make an additional column 2 columns to the right of the last entry to be associated with 'y'. I hope this helps.

Thanks!
Is there anyway to allow the dimension to still be dragged in a way that it will now "snap to" the values guided by the equation?
