Formula not taking

[rossly]

Just learning V5 so bear with me.

I created a simple formula, say length =100mm. When I edit the dim in the sketch under Edit Formula the change doesn't take. It returns to the old dim w/o the f(x) next to it. Is this a setting issue.

Well, being a nubbie, I was adding the formula name in the wrong spot.

Another question, I am from UG and we can change the value of the dim's on the fly. Is there a way in Catia. Now I am putting it in, locating click OK then double click dim to edit. Is that the only way?

Well, you can use the "sketch tools" toolbar, to define the geometry on the fly in a sketch. It won't do you any good for dimensions, however.

Rossly,

I am also a UG persone so I know your pain. In Catia you alwas have to add a step or a mousclick to do something easy.

If you are making user defiend perameter then you can chang it from the specification tree. under tools -> options -> infrastructure -> part infrastructure -> display and check peramiters. now you sould have somthing in you tree called peramiters and you can change the value their.
