Linking a Driven Dimension

[TZellers]

I did a quick search, but nothing came up. How can I link a non-driven dimension to a driven dimension? Picture an o-ring groove (gland) and I want the landing on either side of the groove to be the same width, with the inner diameter landing having a driven dimension (to the cavity I'm sealing). IT isn't really a necessary design intent, but it is irritating that I can't do that....or I'm having a brain fart.

Have you tried linking the dimensions? I don't have time to test it. So check out htis thread - thread559-99685

Yeah, Scott. Sorry if I sounded greener that I am . I know how to link standard dimensions, but as soon as a dimension is "driven" the option to link it is no longer there. I even tried to remove the driven option (making the sketch over-contrained) and then linking the dimensions to see if I could then switch the 1st dim back to driven, but no go......

Did you try using an equation?
