What is the best way to find what dimensions rely on a specific variable?
Edited for clarity: I have a variable defined in a Variable Studio, call it #width, that may be used somewhere in a document with a lot of part studios and assemblies. I do not want to look through the dimensions manually to find where this variable is used. I am looking for a way to search the entire document (or if not…

a unique asymmetrical chamfer
I'm aware of the 2 distances chamfer option, but I think what I want to do is different. I've attached pictures of the current chamfer I was able to create, and the one I want.

Query parts by implicit mate connector
Hey everyone, I have a design for 3D printed parts with the parts designed in place. I want to create a feature that will easily let me reorient all the parts in the correct orientation for printing, to save myself the effort of manually reorienting them after exporting. The goal is to select a mate connector on each part,…

Why does this assembly fail when I add one more revolute mate?
This is a robot arm design I created based on a reference design I found online. However, when I try to connect any two of these blue-colored parts using revolute mates, one of the joints (circled in orange) fails to work properly. They move in a different way, losing the revolute mate-connecting the joint… Does anyone…
