helical pitch in relation

Hi,

I want to construct a helical sweep with a constant pitch. The pitch must be driven by a dimension in the model (e.g. d34).

Problem. When I define the helical sweep it allows me to enter the pitch as d34 in the dialogue box, but when d34 changes it doesn't update parametrically and I have to edit the sweep.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Dave
