Easier way to parametric scale based on current values?

[sami8402L958Z]

Just learning how to use change parameters function. Is there an easier way to scale proportionally without having to input an expression for each feature on my model? I'm wondering if there are there expressions I can input that would make my workflow easier. 

For example, let's say I'm building a mug with a handle. I have the parameters for cylinder, handle, and fillets that I want to proportionally scale. The only thing I don't want to scale is the wall thickness. I'll reference the cylinder for the handle and fillet parameter in the expression. Is there a quicker way to do this than to input expressions for each part? Idk if this makes sense. Is there an expression like (scale proportionally based on the models current values)? So i don't have to figure out the expression (math equation) for multiple parameters?

I hope this makes sense. The example I gave has only 3 components I want to scale proportionally, but for more complicated models, I want to know if there's a quicker or easier way to do this.

Not enough context. 

There is a Scale Tool for that, there are ways to construct a model using calculation expressions, and

it's not clear how a mug would have 3 components and be a simple model.

Might help....

even using a parametric modeler, a model will only be as parametric as you make it.  that does take some skill.

post the mug model, we can explore ideas with you.

Here's an example. I'll model a mug, have all the proportions I want, then proceed to fill out each parameter. Usually I just want to uniformly scale most features of the mug (referencing the mug diameter), except a couple (like wall thickness). So I was just wondering if there's a quicker way to do this instead of going back and inputting each expression. Like if there was a way to "link" parameters to change based on the reference parameter, and it's current values/proportions. 

This is just a mug, but with more complex parts, it get's a little tedious and maybe that's how it is, but I thought I'd ask to see if there's an alternate or better approach.

Please attach the model file. Open in Fusion, select the File menu, then Export and save to your hard drive.  Attach to a reply post.

Here you go

Hi Sami,

I guess this is more about how to manage the expressions (equations). If I were you, I would define the scale factor (multiplier or addition) as a user parameter. Attach it to the model parameters that you would like to scale. Or you may leverage Configuration workflow.

Many thanks!

As @johnsonshiue has already mentioned, this is a situation where Configurations would be a good fit.  The only thing I want to mention is you must have either a Subscription or Educational Fusion License to be able to use configurations.

Why is Sketch2 not fully defined?

Why does it extend into the cavity of the mug?

You have extra features that aren't needed for the handle.

[sami8402L958Z]

I'm not a pro, and just modeled this quickly, but I'm open to hear a better way to approach adding the handle.

As I start to go through this to see how I might change the model - I would be a little more careful on parameter naming convention to avoid confusion.

For this dimension you have named as diameter but dimensioned as radius...
