Variable input in linear pattern switches to number
At first I thought it was just my mistake, but I've had this happen about seven times. When I input the spacing on a linear pattern I write it as an equation (2*[a+b]). Works great, until I change the variables a bit down the line and the linear pattern has a number for the spacing rather than the function. I'm having… -

Re: Variables and Equations based Parametric Modeling Vs. FeatureScript
OK, it's true that Onshape requires variables to be solved in the correct order. Perhaps you could spend the extra hour ordering them correclty :smiley: Joking aside, another option would be to build just the equations in FeatureScript (so you have a full programming language to do whatever calcs you need, but they will… -
Auto dimensions using variables
Hi, When adding sketch entities the dimension boxes only seem to enable when a numeric character is entered, it would be nice if they also enabled when the # key is pressed to allow variables to be entered? Currently I type a 0, backspace and then enter the variable name. Maybe I’m missing something? Thanks. -

Re: Why Doesn't my Variable Studio work in this document assembly and part studio??
(Before you deleted the Variable Studio) the Part Studio had its own local variables that were overriding the ones imported from the Variable Studio. Delete the variable features. For reference, if you look at an overridden variable in the variable table, you'll see an info icon that points this out. -
Can a variable in a Part Studio be used in an Assembly?
The documentation page for Variable Table (Part Studio) says: A Variable table is created in a document and the variables therein are immediately available for use in all Part Studios and Assemblies in that document workspace. But the only way I've found to use variables in an assembly is to use a Variable Studio. It does… -
bug in using variables for parts studio linear pattern
If you use a variable for a distance when doing a linear pattern in a sketch, it looks like it works (the right value shows up after hitting enter), but it's not saving the reference to the variable, instead it's just putting in the current value of the variable. If you change the variable, the pattern does not rearrange… -

text output that can include variables?
I want to have a public document that can be accessed by the link without a login that allows people to set parameters and shows the results I can do this with configuration variables and sharing permissions to affect the sketches and resulting parts. What I have not found a good way to do is to show the results of…
