the new equation editor enhancements removed the "link values" command for an alternative where dimensions are bi-directional & are equal to global variables.. However with this new method we have lost the ability to change the dimension per configuration..  once you make a dimension equal to a global variable the drop down to choose "this configuration", "All configurations", etc... is gone in the modify dialog box...  but old files created in 2011 still support dimensions that are linked & they can be configured...  You just cannot create new linked dimension...  according to another thread "what happened to the linked values command" a guy from solidworks said that they did not remove the ability to create a linked dimension in the API...

Supposedly (according to the other post) solidworks is working on making the new method configurable, but today we have lost configuration abilities when using the new 2012 method.

can anyone help in creating a macro that will allow me to link a dimension to a global variable?
