Summary


Details

A customer produces parts with multiple lengths and diameters. Accordingly 
they set the dimensions on their drawing to ‘Show names -’ –this shows all the 
characters they have assigned to the variables (A, B, C etc.). Then they have a 
table below showing all the values these variables can be. They want to show 
the outer diameter as ‘D’ and the inner diameter as ‘d’ – unfortunately they 
are not allowed to do this for the second value as Solid Edge does not account 
for upper and lowercase and considers the variable to already be used. Is there 
a way to do this?



Solution

No, this is not possible. Variable names are case insensitive. Therefore you 
cannot have two variables with names 'D' and 'd'.
