Making dimensions EQUAL = whilst in a sketch

When in a sketch, it would be great if we could make dimensions equal so the dimensions change together when I make a dimensional change.

    Yeah, Onshape doesn't do dimension relations.  But you can make a variable on the fly.  



    Or you can use constraints.

    Maybe this would work for you.

    Using the EQUALS CONSTRAINT

    The darker lined dimension in the upper rectangle is DRIVING the gray lined dimension in the lower rectangle
    ALSO, all lines on the upper rectangle have the EQUALS constraint applied
    Whereas in the lower rectangle, only the right most line has the EQUALS constraint applied
