I start my project by defining variables, but this quickly becomes a subpar experience.

Problems:

- Due to the fixed display width of the right inspector panel, the variable names often truncate
- No alphabetization, only manual sorting
- No groupings
- No autocomplete when typing formulas in constraints

Please add these features to make parametric modeling more practical. Please also add a sheet that displays variables in a table.

That’s frustrating! Dealing with truncated, unorganized, and manually sorted variable lists severely hinders parametric modeling. Your suggestions are excellent and would dramatically improve the experience: alphabetization, groupings, and autocomplete for variable names in constraints are essential for efficient formula entry. Implementing a separate sheet that displays variables in a full-width table would directly solve the display width and organizational problems, making it far more practical to manage and reference your project’s parameters.
