Please follow the format below for requesting a feature. The problem that this feature will solve: it is currently very tedious and sometimes difficult to make changes to intricate designs after the fact, as the history tab has too many entries. Some entries like movements are even more difficult …

Hi @Istvan 100% agree with this!! I have literally just helped somebody on a topic, where variables would have been awesome. The other thing that would naturally follow variables, would be ‘SCRIPTING’ Shapr3D is a great package that is coming along nicely.

+1 I have to use Fusion 360 or OpenSCAD for parametric models for 3D printing. I would love to use Shapr3D and design my own models with parametric properties.

We’re actively working on this feature. While we can’t provide a definitive release timeline, please know that it’s in development.

So far so good. This is going to make a massive difference!

Works pretty well. It would be nice if variables could be defined on the fly, by entering “var = <value>” in a dimension box.

Many hours of fun to come, along with many hours saved designing.

That is the first thing I thought using it. Would love to have that too but keyboard shortcut is ok for now. [image]

It is pretty close to doing that. For a minute I thought we were going to add them in the side panel.

Just noticed You can use one line on a sketch and create multiple variables. Once created they stay. After that, when you draw you just select the variable in the widget as you draw

Not picturing what you’re getting at. Can you elaborate?
