I'm using an equation on a dimension in a certain
configuration. But in another configuration i want to use a
different equation on this same dimension. Is this possible by
suppressing dimensions in a design table?
I've got a similar situation and I did download your files &
see how this can work. Unfortunately, I have some parts where the
dimension I want to control by equations at different values in
different configs, is not a sketched dimension, but the dimension
of an extrusion feature. I don't see any way of using this method
of controlling the length of an extrusion. Is there any way to do
this, or does it have to be a sketched dimension?
That's fine for one equation, but I need to have several
different versions (configs) of this part, each driving the length
of the extrusion to a different value. If you put more than one
equation controlling a single dimension in the equations box, it
gives you a warning that only the last one will be active. There is
a "Configs" button in the equations dialog box that should allow
you to apply each different equation to one or more of the configs,
but it doesn't seem to work. If you assign equation 1 to config 1,
and equation 2 to config 2, they all use the last equation anyway.
If you go back to the equation dialog box, and hit the "Configs"
button, you'll find that the configuration assignments are back on
"All Configs"
Therein lies my problem. Seeing as there is only one dimension to
control, and the "Configs" feature inside of the Equations dialog
box doesn't seem to function, multiple equations controlling the
same dimension in different configs doesn't work.
yes it is possible to do supress the dimension with the help of design table or without help of it.
You can go through the following 2 simple examples. Hope it will help you.
by the way you can also suppress the equations to any configurations present on the same level i.e. part or assembly level.
Thanks and Regards
