[Designer] Variable Length Constraints


Recommended Posts

I have been enjoying doing cad-like work in Designer for a long while now, but being more into CAD design by promoting it for such work, I have been using it more for my work with laser cutting now. It would be incredibly helpful if there was at least first a basic set of variables that can be placed into generic number field (width, height, corner radius, etc etc) so that a single variable can have a ton of fixes. This would be helpful for cases like, the thickness across dozens of parts needs to be adjusted, or a part needs to be extended so 1 variable would adjust multiple parts.

A second update to this that would make it even better, it to be able to apply these variable length constraints to vertex pairs in shapes, so shapes themselves would alter based on those variables. 

 

Something incredibly similar, but more basic, already exists in Designer - and it's called pallets. Change one color, and everywhere it is used changes.
