How to achieve a parametric position of a rectangle?

Federico Giacci Apr 11, 2016 7:11 PM

Hi all,

I am looking for a way to have a parametric position of a rectangle. I define two global variables: x_center and y_center.

Now I draw a center-rectangle.

I would like to have that the position in the space of my object changes when I change the two global variables. So there should be a way to assign x_center and y_center to the coordinates of the center of the rectangle, but I can't find it.

Can anybody help me?

Thank you in advance!

Federico

Can you use some construction lines to attach the sketch to some other sketches or solids? I picture might help this discussion. Can yo post one?

Hello Federico,

You could do this if you are specifying the relative distance of the centre of rectangle with respect to the origin of the sketch.
demonstrated in the attached video.
I hope this helps you.

Cheers,
Vineet
