Why do I get "Error 9171"

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

Is there an issue with using constants, defined in the Constants window, to define geometries?

I have defined a number of constants that I want to use as geometric parameters, but I get a syntax error when inputing the constant names into the geometry dimension fields:

Error: 9171
Syntax error in expression
- Expression: 50 [mm]

What is the cause of this?

Thank You,

Jonathan

Hi

if you are in 3.5 I seem to remember that the units are not accepted for dimension of geometries, its better in V4
Try with 0.050

Good luck
Ivar
