Add user created dimension to Equation Editor

By being able to optionally add any user created dimension to the Equation Editor, that dimension could be used in the BOM, and to drive the dimension of other parts. This would allow parts using projected geometry to have the values determined by another part (rather than a dimension) to have that dimension included for use in the BOM or elsewhere.

add ability to move user created dimensions up or down in the Equation Editor list so that you do not have to scroll down through a long list to locate the ones you are more likely to change.

I would like to add have all user defined dimension at the top of the list of dimension so one does not have to hunt for the defined dimension. I.E. I have a dimension named BeamWidth, when I want to update I have down thought the other dimensions to find it.

Please add votes to this suggestion. These two together I feel would make a great feature and make life a lot earsier when dealing with complex equation driven design.
