    This is a great use for Onshape's variables: https://cad.onshape.com/help/Content/variable.htm

    Our variables are very powerful and I have multiple examples I can show you for various situations. I have a design where I have one variable, width, and use it to drive all  the other dimensions of my part so that if I need to make an adjustment, all I have to do is change the width variable.

    With good design intent variables are extremely useful.
