Is there a way to drive a helix taper angle with a design table? I guess this question can also be worded as, what is the proper name to reference in the design table for this dimension?

In a more general sense, how can one find out the name for any feature dimension to drive it by a design table?

Sorry if this is basically a repeat question. Its hard to know what search terms to look for.

1. Double click on the feature in the feature manager tree. (this can also be done by clicking on the feature in the viewing area, but in the FMT you will always get the exact feature).

2. A bunch of dimensions will show on the screen in blue. click on the one that is the taper angle.

3. If you have SW2008, it will be listed in the property manager on the left, under "Primary Value". It will probably say "D6@Helix/Spiral1. You can rename it from this box if you want.

3a. If you have an earlier version of SW, right click on the dimension that shows up in blue in the viewing area, it should list the "D6" somewhere in the right-click menu. If you want to change it, you can do so in the properties. Right-click, select properties, and then it will be one of the boxes at the very top (sorry, I don't remember what it is called and I am running '08 right now).
