Hello
So what is the point of it if it's not related?

Can you elaborate on your question?
A case, a screenshot etc...
Thank you =)

Yes, where is the problem?
A variable is by its non-variable via something including a dimension
an explanation is necessary NO

The global variable can change value depending on the configuration and this is used in equations?
In this case you have to enter a value for the global variable for the desired configuration in the equation editor and in the Value/Equation field click on the icon with yellow cubes to indicate "Specify configurations", "This configuration", or "All configurations" (default value)

If it's a variable to use in an equation for example, in your Feature Manager (tree):
- Right-click on the "Equation" folder then "Equation Management"
- In the first part, in the "Global variables" area, enter the desired name for this variable, and then its value in the next column.

Which version of SW do you use? on SW13 I don't have access to the configurations.
Available under 2014 Benoit it seems to me

See this tutorial!
This will help you understand how global variables work.

sorry for the source....
Indeed I did not specify under SW 2013 and this variable is part of an equation that drives a dimension.
So you wanted to change this variable according to the configurations?
Why not go through a family of parts? Your variable would be in the form of a column and your equations would be in the Excel sheet.

I have switched to the 2014 version where the problem no longer arises.
