Measure the Dimension

We can use the Measure command to measure the distance between two faces. The generator automatically designs a compression preview according to the measured distance.

1. Select the Calculation tab. In the Spring Strength Calculation region, select Compression Spring Design from the drop-down menu.
2. In the Assembly Dimensions region select H, L1 --> L8.
3. Click the arrow next to the Min. Load Length field.
4. Select Measure.
5. In Autodesk Inventor assembly, select two faces on the spring retainers to measure the distance between them.
   
   
6. Click Calculate to display the preview. Notice that measured distance of 30 mm appears in the Min. Load Length field.
