Reference Variables from other items.

I don't think this is possible, but I went down the rabbit hole..


Can we reference other variables within different items. I want "Var 2" to match "Var 1" without having to type in 22 again. Let me know if this is possible otherwise I'm going down the custom property route. Answer should both be 22.

Yes. Try [./Var 1/Qty]


This is especially nice to create labor calculations that are derived from material Qty.


Here are some tips:

Shortcut to Reference Same Property from Parent: [..]

Reference a Property from Parent [../Some Property]

Reference a Property from Grandparent [../../Some Property]

Reference a Property from a Sibling: [./Sibling Name/Some Property]

Reference a Property from a Child: [Child Name/Some Property]
