Improvement Request: Change a variable scope

ross_pettingerross_pettinger Member Posts: 4

When working on a part I often create variables that I later find would have been better defined in a variable studio or as a configuration variable. I think it would be nice if I could select a variable and change it to a configuration variable, a variable table, or a part studio — options would depend on where the variable is currently defined.

    If you decide something that you've made a variable in a Part Studio should have actually been in a Variable Studio, just make the Variable Studio and create the a variable with the same name. Then back in the Part Studio delete the local one.
