Use of variables

Post by Maarten. »

Hi, I'm using FreeCAD regularly and like to use variables in my projects to easily adjust dimensions. I use the speadsheet function for this, but I find this process to be pretty cumbersome.

Is there an other/better way to accomplish this? Would be nice if there was an easy to access variable list feature, not sure if something like that already exists.

Best regards,

Maarten

Have you looked at the Dynamic Data workbench?

That does work great.

Would be nice if you could add variables while you're editing your sketch.

Thanks for the information, I'm gonna use that one from now on.
