To create a conditional drawing note, you must first create a new parameter. To do so, click on the Parameters icon in your tools tab.
Then Click on the "+" icon in the Parameters window and type in the name for your new parameter.
Then click ok. Next, click on the relations icon in the tools tab.
Type in your conditional relation using the format:
IF d1 (Equal, greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to) d2
Parameter =
ELSE
Parameter = "text"
ENDIF
Where "Parameter" is the name of the parameter you created, d1 and d2 represent any dimensional symbols in your part, and "text" is the text you want displayed in the note if your expression isn't true.
In the example shown the following is used:
IF d6 >= d35
Clearance = d6-d35
ELSE
Clearance = "Does not fit"
ENDIF
Then create a drawing, add a note, and type &Parameter into the note, where Parameter is the name of the parameter you created. In the example Clearance is the name of the parameter, so the note would be &Clearance and would display as whatever the value of d6-d35 is if d6>=d35, and would display "Does not fit" if d6<d35.
