Per config equation value

[arennuit]

Hello,

I have the folloing problem: in an assembly I would like to specify a value (or a formula) for a dimension in a specific configuration of a part of the assembly. I have read in a forum I would write

myDimension@mySketch@myPart@ConfigX = 1000

though it does not seem to work. I have been looking for a solution for a few days with no luck so far. It seems obvious to me that this is a needed functionality.

Any idea?

Antoine.

Does the config you want to set the value for already exist within the part?
If yes, and the config' is active in the assy, double click the dimension, select the This Configuration option, and change the value.
If not, open the part, create the config', set the value, then return to the assy, and change the part to the required config'.

If you want to use an equation it's easier to select the actual dimension, but the format should be "DimensionName@SketchName@PartName<1>.Part"

The <1> being the part instance number.

Hi CorBlimeyLimey,

Thanks for your answer.

I am indeed interested in using equations to solve my problem. I have already tried using the part ids the way you showed. This works well when used on the right side of the equation and distinguishes between configurations but unfortunately, when used on the left hand side it does not regard the id and sets all the configurations at once.

This is embarrassing.
