How to use a variable value in an assembly configuration?

yves_ebnötheryves_ebnöther 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"

https://learn.onshape.com/learn/article/parametric-variables-vs-configuration-variables

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
