    Change dimension automatically

    Hi
    Please look at the attached picture.
    I want have this shape in the Solidworks parts so that I be able to change the size of blue, red, green and black lines with a chart and no dimension appear in the screen.
    I sketch is simple but I want to have more complicate sketch and I want only change the numbers of the chart and Solidworks change the sketch automatically for me.
    Can you please help me? I hear about Macro but I don’t know does it work for my request or not and how can I do this, please help me with a similar video if it is possible.
    Thanks

    Re: Change dimension automatically

    look up design tables, they will let you enter numbers in excel and update a value in solidworks like that

    you will probably still need dimensions in your sketch though, I've never tried to write a design table for an undefined sketch since it makes it hard to tell solidworks what you want to change
