Step 3.6: Edit the Length of the Part

Summary of the Step

In this Step, we edit the dimensions to which we have related the sketch-loop. The sketch-loop updates as we edit the length of the Part.

The sketch-loop becomes 'parametric'.

[Note: 'Parametric' means one parameter updates as you edit a related parameter].

In this case the length of the Part also 'parametrically' updates the length of the sketch-loop.

       Change the Length of Part

	Return to the Part-Editor AGAIN STEP 1: Double-click the Part-Outline to open the Part-Editor Edit the 100.00mm dimension to become70mm STEP 2: Double-click the dimension arrow-head The Edit Dimension dialog-box opens
	STEP 3: Use the spin-box tool to change the length of the Part to 70mm The sketch-elements change as you edit the dimension. STEP 4: Click when the dimension is 70mm.
	STEP 5: Double-Click a sketch-element to close the Part-Editor.   Save your model. See Also Trouble-shoot Geometry.
