Introduce local variables
Requesting an option to create variables in the sketch and use it in the sketch, in other words variables local to that specific sketch. Currently we can create and a variable as a feature similar to the sketch itself and have to create it before the sketch. Everytime we realise we might need another variable or modify it… -
Set Assembly Name from Variable Studios
I would like to be able to update all of the part names and assembly names based on a variable housed in my variable studio. I figured out how to rename parts but have been unable to figure out how to rename the assembly. Is there a way to rename an assembly based on a variable studio variable? Example: Variable name: year… -
Transferring Variables from Part Studio to Variable Studio
Hello, I would like to transfer variables from ‘Part Studio’ to ‘VariableStudio’, so that I can use them in other parts.” I found how to copy them to the clipboard, but I can’t find how to paste them into ‘Variable Studio’. For now, I paste them into a text file from which I do a 'copy-paste' into ‘Variable Studio’, but I… -
Variables in timeline - use case

How to add global variables to a configuration
Hi All, I have a project that contains multiple part studios and assemblies. It also has a variable studio that contains all global variables. I am trying to create a (list) configuration that will set the value of some of those global variables. I've created configurations before, and setting the value of a local (ie in… -
Using variables to scale a sketch
I'd like to scale an entire sketch based on a variable, so that I can then set that variable up as a configuration. This is proving to be somewhat difficult, as the sketch transformation feature seems to be a one-off, and does not allow any kind of programmatic input. Is there a natural way to do this, or is this going to…
