Relations

[sweng]

Hi all,
I had been trying to setup a relation in my shaft model to insert a hole on the shaft's flange automatically.

my relation is as below:
p = floor (d3/2)
ang_slot = 360/p

where
ang_slot is the angle between the 1st hole & datum.
d3 is the o.d. of shaft

Now, the problem is: I tried to insert a pattern feature on model tree to creat a pattern out of it, but when I picked the direction 1 (in dimension setup), & pick the relation selection, I got an error message. What was the proper procedure to do it?

Is there a proper procedure/ steps in doing this? Please help.
Regards,




sweng

You cannot increment p or ang_slot, because those values are driven by relations. You can increment d3 however.
