Need help with math formula

[Jeff Andresen Member Find all posts View Profile Close Jeff Andresen]

I need to subtract .025 from the nominal size and report that as a location.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

If your nominal size is from circle cir1 then insert "cir1.d-.25" into the nominal for a generic feature. Or you could put it into a comment. If it is from a location callout i.e. loc1, then use "loc1.d.meas".

Don't include the quotes.

assign a variable to the measured dia
something like...
assign/v1 = cir1.d.meas
assign/v2 = v1 - .025

create a generic feature and in command window edit the v2 variable into the Diameter field
then report the diameter of that generic feature

You could create an offset point. Create a point offset without a reference feature with values of 0,0,0. In the edit window change one axis to your variable such as Var0. Then just dimension that axis on that point.

Sorry for the poor explanation.
Actually, I need the distance between two lines less .025.
I tried a generic feature and got crazy numbers.
