Design Table - What names are used for helix parameters?
Design Table - What names are used for helix parameters?
(OP)
I have a tapered spring that I'd like to define both compressed and non-compressed configurations of in a design table - if possible.
I've noticed that I can control some features (not sketch entities with named dimensions) by using a header similar to "D1@Cut-Extrude1", where D1 is not a named dimension but seems to be the "name" that drives the length of the feature "Cut-Extrude1". I assume this is a hidden name since I don't seem to be able to find it anywhere other than the design table.
Is there a "name" that's used to specify the "Height" parameter of a Helix in design tables? Also, is there a listing of what "unannounced" parameter names are used for design tables?
Thanks,
Tim

RE: Design Table - What names are used for helix parameters?
The height control will probably be "D3@Helix/Spiral1" or something very similar. It is a dimension, but was input via the dialogue box rather than in the graphics area.
For other "unannounced" parameter names. go to the SW Help > Index section & drill down to design tables, configuration parameters

I have a design table-driven torsion spring with multiple positions. You will see that all key parameters have been renamed.
