Redundant Dimensions in the Equations Panel

Hello

Why in the Equations dialog box I find the same dimension several times . For example, the D1@Plan dimension of an offset shot appears up to 5 times. When I modify one, the others follow but it intrigues me.

Hello

Can you post your piece for analysis?

Kind regards

Hello d.roger,

Sorry for the late return and thank you for looking into my problem.

The file concerned is in PJ.

For example, if I filter on the word frame, the result illustrates my problem well.

The screenshot is not very readable, I put it in PC.

Hello

The dimensions appear as many times as they are used by the different functions. Your "D1@Plan Door Block Frame" dimension appears 5 times because it is used by 5 functions, you can see these relationships by right-clicking then "Parent/Child... " on the functions, see on the attached image. It's a bit destabilizing but my faith quite logical.

Kind regards

Hello Roger,

This is indeed quite confusing, I was expecting to see only one line appear per side, duplicating the line with exactly the same name doesn't help with clarity but hey that's how it is. Thank you for your answer.
