Right now, I'm working on an assembly, with just one part.

I'm trying to link global variables in the assembly to those in the part, as well as other assembly features.

This works at first, but after I change configurations, it rebuilds the design table and makes all of the values "'=###", so they are rendered as text instead of numbers.

This is ruining all of the relations in the design table.  How can I keep it from doing this?
