Link Parameters in Dynamic Blocks

[alijahed]

Hi All,

 

I have two stretch parameters on a dynamic block. How can I link them together?

For example if the user stretch one them the other automatically stretches accordingly.

I assume 'Parameter Manager' is the key.

Can you please help me with this.

 

Cheers

Is Inventor different to AutoCAD for this?

 

In AutoCAD you can have several actions to a single parameter. In this case I would have a distance parameter and two stretch actions. Using the properties palette I would then assign a distance or direction modifier to one of the stretch actions.

In Inventor you can link them. for example you can put 'd1' as the value of 'd2'.

I need two distance Parameters, like two lines of an angle. once you stretch one the other stretches at the same time with the same length.

ah, very different then - which means I can't help.

I just ran into this.Doesn't look as there was a solution?As stated two stretches.Stretch 1 and would like the other to follow the stretch and update for dataextraction.No grips on second stretch.

Can you attach an example or sketch showing how and what it needs to stretch.

I figured it out.Could not link the 2,just added 2 more parameters with actions then shut off grips.See pic

I totally forgot that I asked this before.

Here is your answer which "dbroada" helped me with it recently.
