Hi all,

I thought I made a mistake but I was wrong.

After 2 frustrating hours of looking for the error, I have found out that SolidWorks does not like the value "0" at all.

My app creates global variables. The varaibles are used as values for dimensions. But whenever a global variable has the value 0, the dimension does not get the global varaible string.

D1@Sketch1 has a value/equation, does not matter what, let's say 44 which 'Evaluates to' 44

This works:

My app runs and a value has changed

My app creates Global variable "GV_01" with value 23

My app updates - dimension D1@Sketch1 will get the value/equation ="GV_01" which 'Evaluates to' 23

When "GV_01" has changed to another value my app updates the Global variable and after rebuild the value of the dimension also updates. All good

This does not work:

My app runs and a value has changed

My app creates Global variable "GV_01" with value 0

My app updates - dimension D1@Sketch1 will not change the value/equation 44 which 'Evaluates to' 44

I did tests and it does not matter what type the dimension is, mm or deg, it refuses to set my dimension to the new created global variable string.

Now why is that?
