Curve Equation on drawing

[eddie]

Anybody know a way to show the equation that drives a Curve From Equation on a drawing. I show the parameter variables of the equation but I must copy and paste the equation into the note. I need it to be driven by the equation (associative). The equation appears as a relation for the Curve Feature. I guess I am looking for a way to showthe relation on a drawing.

a string perhaps?

I don't think there's a simple way to do this. Your bestbetmay beto create parameter names for each value you enter into your equation up front in the relations area(Example:ANGLE=360,Z_OFFSET=0). Then form your equation using those parameter names in the curve equation definition box.


In the drawing, use a note to create the equation again using the parameter names like this "&angle", "&z_offset"and this shouldshowthe values being used associatively. You should then be able to double click those values on the drawing and edit them and it will update the actual relations in the part. This is similar to how layouts are done.

Don't think there's a way to do it all associatively either.
I occasionally wish for the ability to use a string param as a right side
variable, i.e. something like sdXX = 2 * &equation_string, which would
help here, too. Maybe someday or maybe someone knows of a way ...
