Configuration List access in Expressions

February 3 in Product Feedback

Hello Onshape-Team!

Love your product! Two things that bug me when working in expressions that I would love you to fix in an upcoming release:

Access Configuration List in Expressions (e.g. Dropdown value "W. Bearing" could be used in Expression like this "#Version == "W. Bearing" ? -100 mm : 0")
A beatiful large (resizable) expression box where we can see what we are doing on multiple lines with validation and usefull feedback on errors before clicking OK.

I'm sure many silent users would really appreaciate this too.

@ron_tiso
You can use a configuration variable (not list) in the main part studio - which can be used in an expression - for your part, and then derive that part studio into another one where you use a configuration list to drive that config variable.
In feature dialogs you can drag out the box and get a larger input area, but there are many places where larger inputs are needed.

As @S1mon said, you can resize the box already but I agree syntax highlighting would be nice to have in the expression editor for sure!
