Create a configurable part

3D Design Volume Model
1

Hello, we would like to create a configurable part in solidworks 2015. 

We want to use the "global variables" in "Equation" but solidworks tells us that there is a syntax error in the "Value/Equation" collon. We don't know where it comes from or how to solve our problem. See image below.

Maybe there is another solution than "global variable" to create a configurable part. 

PLEASE NOTE that we do not want families of parts.

Thank you in advance for your answers

I just did the same thing on other PCs And it works fine. However, nothing different. Where can the error on my workstation come from?

Indeed there is a problem

Don't see the "Equations" folder?

 

How do you open the window quations suddenly?

If you've always had the problem, try an installation repair.

What version of SolidWorks? If it's a 2015 version or lower I'd bet on the Windows update issue. (KB3072630)

Edit: Looking at the screenshot I am indeed convinced that it is this, because I had the problem at home.

Hello

I think KVuilleumier is right, compare the updates (SP versions) between the stations.

>Compare updates (SP versions) between extensions.

Not quite, it's a problem related to a Windows update and not SolidWorks. And the problem has only been fixed in the 2016+ version.

To correct the problem, you have to create a key in the registry that temporarily disables this update (To summarize), then you have to do an installation repair and then reactivate the update (Because it's always better :p).

But all this is detailed in the link in my previous post.
