    Hi,

    I was wondering if there is a way to link dimensions from different
    parts with each other.
    I have a couple of diameters in different parts which have to match.
    I'm working with SW 2006.

    Best regards,

    Geoff

    Hi Geoff

    Sounds like you are new to SWx. I'm assuming these parts would
    assemble in real life? Try putting the parts in an assembly. Then
    decide which part is the 'parent' and which is the 'child'. Edit the
    child within the assembly, and use an in-context relationship to
    define the diameter. You should be able to select the dia. of the
    parent and use an "equal to" relationship in the sketch of the child.
    Try going through the tutorials and help files, this will make it
    easier to understand.

    Hope this helps.

    Dom.
