New Variable Option Question ..

I'm working in the Designer interface and have a great formula that I wrote for decimal to fraction conversion. The annoying part is that I have to insert this mamoth formula each time I want to use it. I would rather create some kind of sub routine or 'formula'. I see that I can goto the System Variables and add a New Variable. In the 'New Variable' screen I can add check off the 'Function' option at the bottom. Looking through the manual I can't find any reference to adding a formula.

My question is, I can write all the formula's I want but how do I pass a variable to that formula? and .. within that formula, what represents the number that I pass?

Such as .. if I make a function like 'Fract (decimal)' ... I envision calling that function in my code like {Fract(CombinedParts.Thickness)}

Does this make sense?

Rookie question, sorry, I found a tutorial on this very basic issue.

Thanks to the forum for any further assistance you care to give me on this subject. Knowledge is an invaluable tool.

Yes, forum is really invaluable book of knowledge. Forum is a place where people can solve their problems on the base of other users experience. It is even more valuable then documentation. Because it is impossible to provide for every eventuality in documentation.
