What happens when you change a value

When you change a value, the system recalculates everything in a fixed order.

This keeps the drawing, logic, and outputs consistent.

The update flow

When a value changes, the system evaluates in this order:

Input → Variables → Logic → State → Geometry → Outputs

  • Input — the value you changed
  • Variables — derived values are recalculated
  • Logic — formulas and rules are evaluated
  • State — the correct configuration is selected
  • Geometry — the drawing updates
  • Outputs — data and artifacts update

What this means

This evaluation flow ensures:

  • Changes are consistent
  • Nothing gets out of sync
  • You don’t need to manually update anything

The system always produces a single resolved result.
