Variable names on dimensions
Hi,

Is there a way to use variables to fill positions (x,y), dimensions, etc?

I mean, I have many items that have the same width and would like to change it modifying just one variable.

Is that possible?

There’s no variable but if you want set the same size to a group of objects, select them (with a selection rectangle or thenshift key to add an object to current selection), choose Furniture > Modify menu item and set the value(s) you want in the modification dialog box.

Re: Variable names on dimensions
Thanks Emmanuel,

That is actually helpful to set some attributes, but I need to do something more.

I'm designing a furniture made of blocks of different sizes and positioned on different places to form, let's say, a box. The "X,Y, elevation" coordinates of one block are dependant on another blocks width or position. I would like to change, for example, the depth of a block, and then coordinates of the other blocks will change automatically.
