Global variables#

The global variables functionality allows to specify the variable name, rather than a specific value, as the value of blocks properties.

Note

A variable created at the project level. Visible to all blocks without exception.

Supported values:

Type	Example
Integer values	2
Floating-point numbers	2.0
Arrays of numbers	1;2;3;4 [1.0;2.0;3.0] <1;2>_<3;4>
Array of arrays	[[1.0;2.0],[3.0;4.0]]

Hint

Local and global variables support the same value types

To use it, you need to select the Variables tab in the bottom panel of the application (see Fig. 1 below), switch to the Global variables tab and specify:

Variable;
Value;
If necessary, you can add a description (see Fig. 2 below).

Important

The variable name is case sensitive.
Only Latin letters can be used in the variable name, as indicated by a notification under the input area (see Fig. 3 below).

After adding a global variables, it can be used as a property value, including specifying it in several properties/blocks at once (Fig. 4):

Important

The value of the set variable will be displayed in the block properties only after the calculation is started.

When you hover over a line with a variable, two buttons appear to the right of the description:

- delete variable;
- manual change of the order of entered variables by dragging them with the LMB key pressed (Fig. 5):
