Is it possible to reference a dimension in one part from a second part?
Something like "D1@Sketch1@Part1"="D1@Sketch1@Part2" is what I want.
Equation reference to another part in an assembly possible

You have to do this in the context of an assembly.
Yes - both parts are in the same assembly. Is this possible?
Yes, add the equation as you do under any other circumstances: just click on the dimensions you want to add. Depending on whether you are editing the assembly, or editing the part in-context, the equation will be added to the assembly doc or the part doc.
Thanks -
I was overlooking the simple way to do it and trying to type out the equation, and just couldn't get it right. DUH! :-)
The syntax is : "D1@Sketch1" = "D1@ snipped-for-privacy@MyPartName.Part"
Thanks again Sean
