linked bossExtrusion lengths - how?
(OP)
hello everyone
i'm fairly new to solidworks and i'm trying to find ways to automate repetitive tasks in the modeling process so i've stumbled across this... in basic words what i need to do is to define a variable that is linked to the extrusion distance value > so my question is: is there already a feature included in solidworks that allows you to do just this which i am somehow missing / or, if not, can someone share a workaround?
thank you all for considering my trouble...

RE: linked bossExtrusion lengths - how?
i think that what i'm trying to accomplish is what GBor mentioned: "family of parts"... i'm working in a great extent with assemblies and i'm constantly doubting my dimensions and values - not a very healthy habit btw - which means i have to constantly change parts and all that... so if it were a way to link these values centrally so that all of them get changed at once it would be great for me...
i'm gonna have a look at what exactly can be accomplished with a 'design table' till then all ideas are surely welcome
thanks
