How to use a variable value in an assembly configuration?

Member Posts: 2 ✭
I am using a Variable Studio inside my Assembly. I would like to store variable values in the Assembly Configuration, and to calculate with them.
Example for a shelving configurator:
Assembly configuration "high", #AmountOfShelves = 6, #AmountOfWashers=4x#AmountOfShelves
Assembly configuration "low", #AmountOfShelves = 3, #AmountOfWashers=4x#AmountOfShelves
Apparently, this is not possible:
"Configuration variables cannot use formulas or reference other variables. Their values must be entered directly by the user"
I tried using a Configuration Variable, but their value cannot be stored in the configuration.
Many thanks in advance for your help! 😀 Yves from Switzerland
