Changing Global Variables with the Modify Dialog Box

To change dimensions linked to global variables using the Modify dialog box:

In the FeatureManager design tree, click a feature with a dimension linked to a global variable.
The model opens in sketch mode.
In the sketch, double-click the linked dimension.
In the Modify dialog box, change the dimension value.
Click Rebuild and .
In the FeatureManager design tree, right-click the Equations folder and click Manage Equations.
The Equations dialog box displays the new value for the global variable and for the linked dimension.

Search 'Changing Global Variables with the Modify Dialog Box' in the SOLIDWORKS Knowledge Base.
