  1. From the Advanced section of the action bar, click Equations .
  2. To populate the Equations panel, do the following:
    1. In the work area, select a 3D dimension to paste its name into the equation.

      3D dimensions are identified by a letter and a unique number.

      • A for angle
      • D for distance
      • R for radius.

    2. In the panel, click the keypad buttons.
  3. Click Enter.
    f(x) appears alongside the dimension to indicate that it is driven by an equation. 3D dimensions used in equations are automatically set to Driven Dimensions.
  4. To create another equation, click Add an Equation.
