Re: Where to store variables

The second option is to use spreadsheets, dynamic data or just a placeholder item of any kind (group/part/...) that accepts its own custom properties that can be referenced without href(). However, these approaches do not allow for customization in variant links and subshape binders (I think?). Wha...
