Hey Everyone,

Is there away to link a dimensions from a part in this case overall length of a Carriage Housing to the Assemblies Design table. I tried the easy things like double clicking the dimension while the design table was open I also tried its names D1@Sketch20@PLA055RA<1>. I just can't seem to get the correct syntax or something. Does anyone have any idea on how to go about this? I know if I can't get this to work I will just extrude up to point on a line. This would just be so much easier if there is a way. Thanks for any help.

No one else has this question

HI Russell,

This has been discussed quite a few times on this forum. I used to think that there was a way to do this,

but for the life of me I am not able to get it to work. I think the general consensus is that it can't be

done. Which frustrates be because I could swear that I used to do it.

I can't open this link, on youtube, but check it out and see if it reveals anything.

Scott,

Yeah I don't know what I am doing differently. Before It was literally a double click of the dimensions and it would popup like stated in the question. So I tried entering it manually and was still a no go thanks for the youtube video I am definately going to check that out tonight.

Russell,

I am with you. That is the exact way I remember doing it as well, but like you I can't get it to fly.

I will be interested to find out for sure if this in deed doesn't work.

Russell,

This is not linking a design table to another design table but may give you a result you wish?

Mate the part into the assembly by the work planes, edit the part within the assembly then extrude the part to the surface.

I’ll check back to see if your interested to learn more?

Russell,

I don't believe you can drive part dimensions directly from an assembly design table. It seems like you could drive a sketch in the assembly from the assembly design table, then use a point or length in the sketch to drive the part. Which is, I think, what you proposed to do anyway.
