When it came to applying the text placement techniques (around 23:00), I created driven dimensions for the radii of each projected sketch circle, skipped straight to the arc with its horizontal end point constraints, then one formula to dimension the arc based on the driven dimensions and text height parameter. That avoided the vertical line and extra construction circle. Not sure if this method will cause me pain later on, or if the only downside is a more complex formula that I had to develop and debug in stages to verify it was correct. I do appreciate the less cluttered sketch and there being one place to view how the arc is being dimensioned rather than a chain of references. EDIT: This comment was premature. As soon as I started adding the small text I began making changes to avoid duplication in the formulas. I ended doing something similar to what you showed. Then I realized I was aware of multiple ways it was possible to get the same result and I was trying them out and comparing their pros & cons. Then I realized yet again… woah, I'm actually learning this stuff. Thank you!
Its Amazing how "easy" you teach step by step. Finally done the whole 3 units on tire and i learned sooooo much from starting from scratch 3-4 years ago. wish i did theese allready back then (if they excisted then) :D thanks. will go through every one in the future now. Keep it up!
Great to hear! Thanks for taking the time to comment. So glad that you have benefitted from these tutorials. Hope you enjoy our other tutorials too. Please keep commenting so we can see your progress. All the best!
@@learnitalready I'm starting to binge watch your other videos, they are so well made and it is helping a ton! Great to see a reply too! Not found often these days.
@@nasaeagle Thanks for diving into our other tutorials too! Glad you’re finding them helpful. We are trying to respond to everyone. We know what it’s like to need help learning something. Just trying our best to help when we can.
Just yesterday I was considering how I'll manage engraved info to keep track of a wide variety of multi-part 3D printed molds. Parametric text for the win!
Fantastic video. I came for a few quick tips on creating a tire and stayed for the three videos. I learned a lot including better and quicker methods for constraints including more frequent/better use of mid point and test parameters frequently. The parametric text add-in will be a huge time saver in coming 3D printing project.
I love it! Thanks so much for your comment, especially for how specific you were in what you benefited from. Hope you find some benefit from our other tutorials too! All the best.
@@learnitalready Could you please help: I have let's say 100 holes in alloy sheet metal and I'd like to join M4 screws to each hole - is there any way to make 100 copies of the M4 screws and join each of these screws to the 100 holes automatically, not selecting them one by one and not making 100 joints manually?
Great video! I'm curious about the best practice for mirroring all the text to the other side of the tire, considering the text itself would need to be mirrored as well. How could this be achieved?
Thanks! Great question too! Put simply, there is no way to mirror the text to the other side without it being flipped. You will have to perform the same operations on the other side. That is the great thing about parametric modeling though, especially when you get more proficient with it. If you prove the parameters on one side, it is very simple to replicate (not mirror) on the other side.
@@learnitalreadywhen i look again that question didn't explain much. sorry for that 😅 I want to create the numbers from 1 to 100 in a 10x10 pattern, but I don't want to write down all the numbers manually. I prefer to do it parametrically. Is there any add-on or sth. that does this?
@@learnitalready Turned out to be bad timing. When I installed the Add-In, Fusion 360 needed to update and Autodesk servers happened to be down. Everything updated later on.
@@learnitalready I've gone as far as I want to on the tire. :) But I'm holding my breath for the next tutorial. I love your format. I was not doing anything right before your series. Now I know why a blue line turns black and why that's a good thing.

What a perfect way to utilize parametric text!
Thank you for the excellent series!!

@@sebastianmichalski5318 Possibly. Is there any way you can pattern them, or are they completely random?
@@learnitalready Random.
Just a note - all 100 holes are made as one feature, based on 100 points that are created in a sketch.
Gold!

hi. nice tutorials. 👍👍 i want to create parametric bingo numbers in an array how can i do this? with which addon or sth?
Thanks for the support. I
f you’re talking about random numbers, F360 doesn’t offer this feature as to my knowledge.

Oh boy. After installing the Add-In I can no longer open my Tire project. Bummer.
Oh no! I wonder what happened. Is it still not working for you?
