Dynamic Cut-out Components
-
I made a DC cut-out window. As it is now, it contains three component definitions: Corner, Vertical Edge, Horisontal Edge. The vertical and horisontal edges are identical, except they are scaled differently.
The thing is: I can assign different formulas to component instances for the XYZ position, but when I try to make a formula for the XYZ length it's applied to all component instances. That's why I had to make different version for the horizontal and vertical edges.
My question is: why can I set different XYZ positions, but not different lengths for component instances?

There is some discussion on this here:
Scott Lininger chimed in and explained what attributes are stored per instance and what attributes are only stored per component definition (meaning all instances will have the same value). Only X,Y,Z,rotx,roty,rotz can be stored in the component instance.
That might help,

hm.. well, I can see advantages of having instance attributes as well as definition attributes. But it'd be nice to have both. not either or.
Thanks for the heads up on that thread.
