Linked Values won't remain linked
Linked Values won't remain linked
(OP)
I'm working on a part file that I've attempted to link dimensions to a global variable. This part has multiple configurations which simply suppress or unsuppress features as needed. I can linked values to the variable, but the links disappear when the model rebuilds. I've been able to link values within a configuration, but the other configurations do not retain the link. When I link the value in one of the other configurations the original configuration that I started with looses its link.
Any suggestions? Are the limitiations, parameters or settings to linking to a global variable?

Could it be that suppressing a feature is the problem? I'm not suppressing the sketch that contains the variable, only the feature (a cut revolve) that uses the sketch. Also, I should mention that 24 of the features use a derived sketch with the global variable used to positon the derived sketch as well as the original.
I considered using equations, but that just seems like an extra step. Linking values would intuitively seem to do the same thing, but I could be wrong. I would use the design table, but again that would seem like an extra step. I was using the design table to direct which features are suppressed or unsuppressed.
