Afternoon All,
I have recently moved from Unigraphics to Solidworks. I am trying to create expressions in Solidworks before doing any sketching/modelling.
In Unigraphics you can create expressions easily from the tool menu - see page 223 Practical Unigraphics NX3 Modeling ... - Stephen M. Samuel, Anuranjini Pragada, Gautam Baksi - Google Books
You can then call upon these expression when creating sketches & modelling. If you ever want to change a part, its simple to just change the expression as opposed to going through the whole model and changing things individually - especially if some dimensions are related to others.
The problem is I cannot see anywhere to do this in Solidworks. I have tried searching the net for all sorts of things and cannot find a solution. I guess it is probably not called expressions.
Would appreciate advice from anyone who may be able to help with this problem.
