Referencing Analysis Results

[Recon1775]

Ok first I tell you want I'm trying to accomplish. I want to measure between two points or coord sys within an assembly and output the result into a drawing table or parameters table. I want to be able to monitor changes of the points or coord. sys. relative to each other by just going through a table and viewing the dimensions.

You can create ref. dims within an assembly but it only works in one orientation. I want to be able to get info such as when you use the measure tool, but I have no idea how to get that data without doing it by hand each time. You can save the analysis, but is there any way to pull the analysis results and place them say into a drawing table, so that it updates each time you regenerate the model? Can you assign a saved analysis to a parameter?

Thanks!

You need to make an Analysis feature from the measurement, and then relate a parameter to the result.

Use the following format in a relation:

PARAM1 = DISTANCE:FID_ANALYSIS1

Where
PARAM1 is the name of the parameter to be shown on the drawing
DISTANCE is the name of the parameter within the analysis feature.
ANALYSIS1 is the name of the analysis feature itself.

Worked beautifully. Exactly what I needed.
Thanks!
