You can set a path length dimension to a chain of sketch entities. You can set the dimension to be a driving dimension, so that when you drag the entities, the path length resizes consistently.
To create a path length dimension:
-
Right-click the sketch and click
.
- In the graphics area, select the sketch entities that are end-to-end coincident, and form a single chain.
- Click
.
A radial style dimension appears and is attached to the path.
- To change the path length dimension, double-click the dimension and specify a new value in the Modify dialog box.
You can reference this dimension in custom properties, configurations, equations, or tables, including design tables and BOMs.
