You can
configure equations and global variables in the same way as you configure dimensions.
You can create variations of equations and global variables, and apply them to
configurations using the Equations and Modify dialog boxes. You can also configure
equations and global variables in design tables, and in various PropertyManagers for parts
and assembly features.
For example, when you create an equation in the Distance field of the Chamfer
PropertyManager, you select configurations by selection an option from the configurations option list that
appears in the field. You can edit the equation and assign it to different configurations
using the Equations or Modify dialog boxes.
You can also specify a different unit of measurement for each configuration. For example,
you can have one configuration where a global variable is expressed in millimeters and
another where it is expressed in inches.
