Link custom property value to equation?

Is there a way to link a custom property value to an equation?

If not doing it directly that way is there a way to link the value of a custom property to a sketch dimension, then of course I can get that value into an equation.

Yes, do it the usual way you put dimension values into custom properties which is found in help. If you want the result of an equation then just create a scratch sketch and drive a line length with the equation result. Put that in custom properties.

hhhmmm, I think I forgot to include that the value will originally be driven from the custom property not from the sketch. The idea is to have a value in a custom property and that value in turn is used in an equation. For example if there is a custom property linked to the mass of the part then link the mass from that custom property into an equation then the results of that equation will drive some dimensions, most likely some distance mates.

I also considered the macro feature or just a macro assigned to a hotkey that basically just takes the weight of the active doc and inputs that value into an equation. I did not think about the design table though, I will have to explore that a little, it has been years since I used a design table.

Thanks for your input
