Adding distance for an offset plane to a configuration table.

So I am designing a part (tonearm tube) that can exist in multiple configurations.

These configurations typically revolve around the actual length of the part (9", 10" and 12" for example), but the part changes in multiple ways including the curve profile, location and size of openings etc.

And, the configuration table has been a godsend, and I have been able to configure the various sketches to change based on dimensions saved in the configuration table.

All good so far.

Now, one of the features requires an offset plane. Trouble is, the offset distance needs to change based on the configuration. Currently, I have the value in the variable, and every time I change a configuration, I need to manually change that variable. But it will soon be three configurations times three variables that I need to keep a track on and it gets difficult quite fast.

Finally, for my question - is there a way to save a value for the offset distance of a plane in the configuration table - so that when I select a configuration (say 9" tonearm) it sets a particular plane offset by a value?

Right click on the offset and select "configure", of if you already have a variable just configure the variable the same way (the nice bonus with the variable is that the column in the configuration table will be named after the variable

This is excellent, thank you!
