    This is for a plate template that I am making for users at the company
    where I work. I need to grab dimensions of a start part within the
    template, do some multiplication on them, and make the final value
    show up as a custom property. Such as lenght * width * thickness *
    ..2836. Or more specifically "D1@" *
    "D1@" * "thickness@" * .2836.
    Can anyone tell me how to do this, or give me a better way to make it
    show up as a custom property. Thanks for any help given, I really
    need it.

    One way would be to have the template have a line in a sketch that is
    controlled by an equation. This equation would do the math, with the
    multiplication factor being a custom property for ease of use. Then you
    could have a custom property that is tied to the length of the line.
