Evaluate Feature
Evaluate Feature
(OP)
Hi,
Can anyone tell me how I might retrieve the value of an "Evaluate Feature" to use in a model note.
Here is the scenario......
I have an assembly that has a critical clearence. I wan't to display the evaluated distance in the model tree-so that I do not have to constantly remeasure.
Thanks,
JW

RE: Evaluate Feature
Write it so (the names used below are for example only)
1.Create an Evaluate Feature and name it SURFACE (example only: this is the feature name).
2.Enter the name of the dimension as AREA (example only: this is the measurement name).
3.Create the Evalaute Feature.
4.In the Model Tree, the feature item SURFACE will appear.
5.Create a relation that calls the evaluate feature value to a parameter (create one called TOTAL_SURFACE).
TOTAL_SURFACE = area:fid_surface
In the Model Tree, the evaluate feature is shown as below:
<measurement_name>:<FID_featurename>
Now simply add the part or assembly parameter to your Model Tree columns.
Good luck.

RE: Evaluate Feature
Your explanation was clear and very accurate.
I first got the idea from a printed article. The problem was though, the author made a lot of assumptions. This is the first time that I have wanted (or needed) to drive a parameter off of a relation.
Thanks again,
