Reserved names include Funtions, Units, XYZ, and more. You will not be able to name any of your parameters with a reserved name. Some names are reserved for system parameters and expressions. Note these are backslashes not forward slashes. For example, Parent\Sizebox\Length or Parent\Parent\Parent\Sizebox\Length. You can also get the Sizebox value from a parent item, my typing " Parent\" at the beginning. To do this, type Sizebox\Length or Sizebox\Width or Sizebox\Height. You can control/drive a parameter with Sizebox values of an intellishape, part, or assembly. Milling is the machining process of using rotary cutters to remove material from a workpiece by advancing (or feeding) in a direction at an angle with the axis of the tool. Getting Sizebox Values to Drive a Parameter Note this Parameter type is selected via the dropdown and cannot be typed like a standard function. SUPPRESSION | The suppression Parameter is a different type of Parameter, used to suppress items. For example, SWITCH (X, 5, 10, 6, 12, 8) returns 10 if X is equal to 5. otherwise returns Vn if the evaluation result of X is equal to the evaluation result of Gn, otherwise returns Vdef. otherwise returns V4 is the evaluation result of X is equal to the evaluation result of G4. , Gn, Vn, Vdef) SWITCH returns V1 if the evaluation results of X is equal to the evaluation result of G1, otherwise returns V2 if the evaluation result of X is equal to the evaluation result of G2, otherwise returns V3 if the evaluation results of X is equal to the evaluation results of G3. INT(X) INT evaluates X and returns the integer parts of the evaluation result. MIN takes a variable number of arguments. MIN (X,Y.Z) MIN evaluates all arguments and returns the smallest value. MAX takes a variable number of arguments. MAX (X,Y.Z) MAX evaluates all arguments and returns the largest value. ATAN2 returns a value in the range -π to π radians, using the signs of both parameters to determine the quadrant of the return value. If both parameters are 0, the function returns 0. ATAN returns a value in the range -π/2 to π/2 radians. If X is less than -1 or greater than 1 ACOS returns an indefinite value. ĪCOS(X) Arccosine of X in the range 0 to π/2 radians. If X is less than -1 or greater than 1, ASIN returns an indefinite value.
ĪSIN(X) Arcsine of X in the range -π/2 to π/r radians. TAN(X) Tangent of X, where X is an angle in radians (type "deg" for Degrees). ĬOS(X) Cosine of X, where X is an angle in radians (type "deg" for Degrees).
SIN(X) Sine of X, where X is an angle in radians (type "deg" for Degrees). Profile Profile level parameters are stored at the 2D sketch Profile level. Shape Shape level parameters are stored at the Intellishape/Shape level. Part Part level parameters are stored at the Part level. Pattern Pattern level parameters are stored at the Pattern level. Īssembly Assembly level parameters are stored at the Assembly level. Generally Assembly level Parameters are much better to use. Note: these will not be included in the Assembly/Part if you drop it into a catalog. Scene Scene level parameters are stored in the IronCAD Scene file. This is important to note if you are seeing a number very different to expected, it could be caused by expecting the number to be in Millimetres, when it is in Metres. To change the measurement unit, simply type the unit you would like to use after the number (For example 20 mm or 30 deg). This forum here is the only one I've found that's got any activity.The default measurement units in the Parameter table are Meters/Radians/Kilograms. But the fact SE's user base is so small worries me a little. Or am I missing something?Īt this time I'm sold to SE, and I'm trying to convince my boss who's an Autodesk aficionado to purchase it. I see that as a huge impediment to productivity. For example, the frames dialog box takes almost 1/4 of my 1280x1024 screen. Inventor has a ton of features and fonctionality, but I just can't get past those big dialog boxes that take valuable screen space. Generally workflow in SE seems faster, even though SW has a slightly more user-friendly UI. You can't save a sheetmetal flat pattern directly in dwg/dxf format in SW, which is IMHO an incredible oversight (IV does it). With frames, the fact that you don't have to trim your profile ends manually like in SW and IV is a big plus. I've come to the conclusion that in the two environments that most matter to us (frames and sheetmetal), SE is more efficient than SW and IV. I've been evaluating Solid Edge (V18 because we are still on Win2k, can you believe it) for the past two months, and comparing with Solidworks and Inventor.
