You can use the Equations dialog box to create, edit, suppress, unsuppress and delete equations. Global variables and equations are available in one place, and flyout menus help you create global variables and equations more quickly and accurately.
Contents
You can suppress equations and global variables to help you troubleshoot equations. You can also suppress equations so that different equations can be applied to different configurations of a part or assembly.
You can specify the units of measurement for global variables, and for the values and equations that define the global variables. You can define the units in the Equations and Modify dialog boxes for dimensions, and in PropertyManagers that support equations.
If a part has several configurations, you can decide whether changes to a dimension will affect one configuration, all configurations, or selected configurations.
You can also use the Visual Basic If function when specifying a model dimension.
