Exporting Equations

You can export equations from a part or assembly to a text file.

  1. Define equations in the Equations dialog box.
  2. Click Export.

    In the Equations Export dialog box, under Active, all the equations are selected for export.

  3. In the Equations Export dialog box:
    1. Under Active, clear the check mark for any equations you do not want to export.
    2. Select or clear Link to file.
    3. Click Save.
  4. In the Save As dialog box:
    1. Specify a name and location for the text file.
    2. Click Save.

    The equations are saved in a text file. The text file is available to import into other parts and assemblies. If Link to file was selected, changes you make in the text file are propagated to the model.

    If you selected Link to file, then in the Equations dialog box:
    • Under Active, the icon indicates equations that are linked to the external file.
    • At the bottom of the dialog box, Linked File displays the path to the external file.
