Sketch Scale uses old parameter equation value when using configurations bug

[TMC_Josh]

When using an equation parameter that uses values from configured parameters Sketch Scale doesn't work properly. When the configuration changes the parameter values and equation are all correct in the Change Parameters dialog however when putting in the Scale Factor for Sketch Scale the value comes up as using the parameters from the previous configuration.

This issue doesn't occur when using the same equation parameter in e.g. a sketch dimension.

Example:

Configuration A: Parameter x=10

Configuration B: Parameter x=20

Parameter y=x+2

Select configuration A:

Parameters dialog: y -> 12

Sketch Scale: y -> 12

Select configuration B:

Parameters dialog: y -> 22

Sketch Scale: y -> 12 (bug)

Workaround is simply to use the bugged parameter in a random sketch dimension then ctrl+z.

Hi @TMC_Josh this is because the Sketch Scale Factor isn't an editable parameter, after creating the scale, it's done. There isn't a way to change the scale factor to make the scale bigger or smaller afterward.

Hi there Evan, this bug occurs before clicking "Okay" on the Scale Sketch Dialog. It can be seen in the Scale Factor input box.

Adding some images to make things clearer.

Note the parameter logoScaleFactor with value 0.048681. This is correct as it is the same value displayed in the Parameters dialog and other places.

In this image, the parameter name is put in and the fx button is hit to show the value. The value shown is incorrect in that it corrosponds to the value of logoScaleFactor in a previously selected configuration.
