Re: one sketch dimension driven by multiple global variables

Seeing your original post, I thought you had a specific need to do it the way you were.

On my phone so can't really see the animation. But try not using underscores in your variable names.
About 10 years ago underscores in custom property names gave me all kinds of weird results...and it wasn't documented anywhere!
