What are Best Practices, regarding Variable Table vs Variable Studio ?
-
Re: Improvements to Onshape - February 2nd, 2024
hi john_mcclary, If a variable is being used in a Part Studio and is renamed via the Variable Table, the rename would propagate through the features using it. Now this is also true if the variable is created in a Variable Studio and Insert into all Part Studios and Assemblies is enabled. ex. * Create Variable Studio *… -

Then place all variables in this folder… -

I would like to drive that "Quantity" property with a variable from a variable studio - however when I set up my FeatureScript to assign the variable I keep getting this error… -
Changing variable value breaks sketches inconsistently
Hi, In modeling a parametric box design, I encountered some weirdness when working with variables to control the boxes dimensions. Basically, when I change a parameter / variable like the box height, it often breaks one of the sketches. However, if I go into the affected sketch and do a slight change, like adding 0.1mm to…
