Is it possible to explain how to use a dimension of an sketch object to determine the value of another dimension - even a dimension from a different sketch of a separate body or part? I don't mean from a spreadsheet, but from the objects sketch itself. For example I have a sketch with a dimension that I label 'length' in its reference box when I type in its value. In a separate part I want a dimension in that part to be twice as log as the length of that 1st part. Without using a spreadsheet - can I set the dimension in the 2nd part to be " 2 x Part1.Length "?
@@321StepBySteptTutorials Thank You. I did finally figure it out (i had trouble because I'm brand new to FreeCad) but u can directly reference any 'constraint' no matter where it is if u type a name in the 'reference' box in the window u enter the value in. Such as 'SketchName.Constraint.Length' where 'Length' is the name u gave the constraint (and its case sensitive). On the other hand it took me forever to figure out how to reference a Pad Dimension. I will check out the video since I am not up of shapebinder .. Again Thanks
Ottimi tutorial complimenti, pero le immagini sono sempre sfuocate, almeno per quello che vedo io. saluti.

You can reference external geometry. Check out our Shape Binder tutorial. Hope this helps. th-cam.com/video/0d1M-LOdsDk/w-d-xo.html
