Global Variables and Equations for the SolidWorks CSWP

Check out hundreds of SolidWorks Tutorials at solidwize.com.
By using global variables and equations, you can quickly update models on the CSWP and get through section 1 as efficiently as possible.

Great, absolutely great. After going thru all the junk of other vids I found this. Have to say thanks so much for easy step by step.

Double click on the dimension and modify it. Global variables can be modified directly from the dimension dialog box.

This is very helpful for repetitive jobs.

Great video on linking global dimensions to an excel spreadsheet

First of all thanks for your short, yet informative video. Second, is there a way of modifying the global variables while in smart dimensions?

[@AlexLPD]

Very clear, thanks for the tutorial mate!!!

[@SolidWize]

Yes it will change the value of A to 50mm (not 55)

Awesome video, thanks.

Hi, I am facing problem in equation when I go to change my equations, they dont update the part and rebuild. I have checked the automaticly rebuild box but they still don't change in the model, as shown by the same mass properties.

[@elthechieftain]

so if i have assigned 20mm to A already, assigning a new number, say 50mm, to that dimension, will it change the value of A to 55mm?

In 2014 Premium version table don´t allow to nsert in value , says the syntax is wrong???

[@SolidWize]

Meaning you're not able to add global variables?

[@nicolasceruti5167]

SolidWize Thanks SolidWize!! yes in the table can´t add, first i put value "A" in the next row put =85 and inmediatly a message appear " the equation sintaxis is wrong..." or something like that. Regards and thanks.

Nicolas Ceruti The equal sign is automatic in the value box. Don't add another equal sign.

[@nicolasceruti5167]

SolidWize Yes, i don´t add =, this just appear, but when i introduce a value, in the next row appear a message telling " The equatin sintax isn´t correct" Thanks again!

[@SolidWize]

Nicolas Ceruti which service pack are you running? It might be a service pack issue or it sounds like you might have a registry error causing an incorrect error message.

How do we modify the settings of the box where we write measures?
