....instead of opening the equations manager?
Example: directly changing the 'height' in below list would be more efficient than editing in the eq. manager.

I suggest using custom properties instead of Global Variables. Custom Properties can be modified on the screen in the Property Tab.
Thanks Alin,
My global variables are defined in an assembly, controlling sketch dimension of various parts within this assembly.
Can 'custom properties' do the same?

PS: how do I vote on that SPR??

Yes. For equations, Global Variables or Custom Properties behave the same.
Alin,
Is there any tutorial somewhere for this? I've always used global variables to drive the size of my components in assemblies.
How can it be done with custom properties?
thank you
Vote on:
SPR 752025: Ability to change the global variable directly in the feature manager by double click without opening the equation folder (edit modify)
You can control Global Variables via Properties.
If link GV-> Dim already exists:
Create Property (or Custom Property). Let it be LG=9.5:
Link Global Variable to Property:
Now dimension is linked to Property.
All good info here.
In addition, creating a link value also creates a global variable, which can be used as such, although this is uneditable in equations, it is editable wherever you happen to link it. The opposite of your situation, but nice sometimes, especially for patterns that require you to know how many instances you have before you do the pattern
If you use Custom Properties to control your dimensions, you find them at 'File Properties' instead of 'Global Variables'
Same result but I tend to use the 'Custom Properties Tab' mainly for my Custom Properties such as Author, Quantity, Material etc. and the 'Global Variables Tab' for controlling dimensions.
