Three Views of Equations

The Equations, Global Variables and Dimensions dialog box offers three views. Each view shows a different combination and sequence of equations, global variables and dimensions to help you perform tasks such as finding a specific equation, viewing all dimensions used in a part, and changing the order in which equations are solved.

To select a view:
  • Click the Equations View equations_view_icon to see all global variables and equations for dimensions and features.
  • Click the Dimensions View dimensions_view_icon to see all global variables, equations, and dimensions used in the active part or assembly, whether they are associated with an equation or not.
  • Click the Ordered View Ordered View icon to see global variables and equations in the order they are solved, and to see suppressed equations.

Contents

  • Equations View

    The Equations View displays all global variables, equations to suppress features, and other equations for the part or assembly, grouped in those three categories.

  • Dimensions View

    The Dimensions View displays all the dimensions used in the active part or assembly, including those with a set value and those determined by equations. This view makes it easy to rename or change the values of several dimensions.

  • Ordered View

    The Ordered View displays equations and global variables in the order they are solved. It is also the only view where you can view suppressed equations and unsuppress them.
