Tie ribs between 2 different pieces

Out of category

Hello.

I'm looking to link two ribs on 2 different pieces.

For example I have a bore of diameter d1 on a part called "cylinder", and a shaft of diameter d2 on another part called "piston".

I would like to know if it is possible to create a relationship between these coasts located on 2 different rooms.

For example, if my shaft is 50mm in diameter, I want my bore to be 51mm, so I'm going to write this equation:  d1 = 1.02 x d2.

I can only link ribs located on the same piece, but I can't get the rib of another piece.

If I change the d2 dimension, and I change it to 100mm, I would like d1 to automatically change to 102mm.

HELLO.

Put your 2 pieces in the same assembly and you can bind 2 sides.

Have a nice day.

Good evening.

Thank you very much for your answers. The 2 parts must therefore be in the same assembly.

So I'm going to put some ribs randomly for now, and once in the assembly, I could tie my ribs.
