Varied items in assembly family table

Hola,

I'm trying to add a varied item (flexible component) dim to an assembly family table. Suffices to say that I'm not having much luck.

As an example, imagine I have a compression spring in an assembly whose modeled length is 1.50", but when assembled is 1.00".. So I make the component flexible, and add the varied dim of 1.00 and regen - all is well.

Now, I make a family table of the assembly except in the first instance the 1.00" is now 1.25" - how do I change the varied dimension for that instance? I can't seem to screen select it....

TIA

Try the "distance" method rather than "By value" and pick the surfaces or datum plans to guide the spring length.
