parameters for positions
Hi,
A very warm welcome to the new feature of parametric solids, and the possibility to use mathematical expressions, containing parameters, in the dimensions of objects. Really great!
However, I can not use parameters as the *position* of objects: if I position an object to 'Snap to X Y Z coordinates', and give a parameter L1 as the X coordinate, I get an error message: X coordinate, incorrectly used parameter L1.
Why is this so?

If it was possible, I could create geometrical constraints between two solids (not in the same boolean tree), by an appropriate choice of parameters, and position/dimension of these solids defined in terms of these parameters.

This has not drawn too much attention... I really do not understand why parameters can not be used for positions, which would make life really so easy.

Hi Daniel,

It can be expected in the next major release of VariCAD later this year.
