For many features, you can enter and modify equations directly in PropertyManager fields that allow numerical inputs. You can create equations with global variables, functions, and file properties without accessing the Equations, Global Variables and Dimensions dialog box.
The following table lists many of the PropertyManagers where this capability is available:

For example, in the PropertyManager for the Extruded Boss/Base feature, you can enter equations in:
- Depth fields for Direction 1 and Direction 2
- Draft fields for Direction 1 and Direction 2
- Thickness fields for a Thin Feature with two direction types
- Offset Distance field
To determine if a numeric field accepts equation input, hover over the field to display the following tool tip: Enter a value or start with = to create an equation.
Numeric input fields that contain equations can display either the equation itself or its evaluated value. You can toggle between the equation and the value by clicking the Equations 
or Global Variable 
button that appears at the beginning of the field.
If the feature applies to more than one configuration, a configuration button 
appears in the input field. You can specify whether the equation will affect one configuration, all configurations, or selected configurations.
You cannot change an evaluated value when it is displayed in the input field, but you can toggle to the equation and then edit or delete the equation.
Equations that you create or edit in the PropertyManager, Equations dialog box, or Modify dialog box are reflected in all areas.
