Hi,
I would like to add a global equation in a limit distance mate as when I change the assembly dimensions the limit distance mate needs to change as well.
When I double click in the limit distance mate in the feature tree and then double click on the dimensioning to ad the global equation value ="GUIDE RAIL OFFSET" I get an error saying. "Please enter a number greater than or equal to -100000 and less than or equal to 100000
Daniel Ussingkaer - The easiest way to do this is with sketches and use a coincident mate to the sketch points. Draw a line and break the line in 3 places (or draw 3 lines), then make the outside two segments equal distance and then the center line will expand and contract according to the overall Assembly dimensions. If you want them to slide back and forth then you need to follow my reply here..

Doing it this way will eliminate the Limit Dimension, which a lot of times just doesn't work properly or it will flip..
