Equations referencing configuratios possible?

I have a dimension that I would like changed for different configurations.
Is it possible to put a reference to a configuration name into a formula -
Something like :

If (Configuration="A", "Dim1@Sketch1"=1.0,"Dim1@Sketch1"=2.0)

If so, how would it be worded - what is the syntax?

 

The equations manager allows one to specify if equations are
suppressed or unsuppressed by configuration. I learned that it is
best to control the suppression states by use of a Design Table, as
the suppression state seems unstable otherwise.

Not sure of a way to do it via an expression in the equation but I
have been successful with having two or more equations driving the
same dimension but only one of those equations being active for any
given configuration.

In the equation dialog box you should see a Configuration button,
there you can select the configs you want to assign the equations too
and then you can just use the active check box for each equation to
selectively set some equations to active/inactive per each
configuration.

It does work, but it does get very confusing if you have many
configurations and many equations.

Don't know if this would help but...

I had to do something similar. But I drove the dimensions with a design
table in excel, that way you have ALL logical functions available to you to
use. It sure worked for my 36 configurations of angles on each part!

Thanks to all who replied - solved my problem.
