Define and store common variables

Define and store common variables

Hello, 

 

Building drafts I often encounter issues while selecting multiple curves (or cos). Alias decides, for some reasons (linked to surfaces UV orientation I believe) to switch the orientation of one of the surfaces resulting in me either killing the history or having to generate my drafts in more than 1 operation. This becomes an issue when I want to change some parameters of the function having to guery edit each element instead of a single group...

 

I was thinking, in Catia, we have to opportunity to store a variable in the scene and call it in the functions.

For instance, if i want my draft angle to be set to 3deg, I generate a common variable called "draft angle" with the value of 3. Once in the draft function, instead of typing "3" for the draft angle value, I call my function "draft angle". Along the way if I need to modify this value, instead of query editing the draft function(s) I just modify my variable.

 

Do you think something similar can be implemented to Alias ?  I believe it will add a bit more interest to the history building.
