Inter-file dimensions linking

[njsavage]

Hi All,





Just wonderring if there is a way to link dinemsions of a part/ assembly with dinemsions on a different part/file?





i.e. D1 @Sketch 1 in file 1 = D1 @Sketch 1 in file 2


hope this explains it ok. if not let me know and i'll try again


thanks in advance

I think 1st you assemble both files in an assy then make relations.

Another method would be to create a Block containing Lines and Arcs with dimensions you want to link. If both parts have the block inserted as a sketch feature you can apply equal length relations to the dimensions or geometry you want to controll between the parts.

This is a very Top-Down method that I've looked into but not used much so far.
