custom global variable: =G!Dim_To_First_Drw_Slide_Hole

In the component library v050.7, the system drawer slide locations are pretty much hard-wired to the bore templates.  (ie 35mm, 128mm etc for the 5mm slide mounting holes.)

This leaves the drawer slides dead flush to the cabinet face, without any option to bump these back a little bit.  Am I nuts or did the v67 software have an option like this?  I swear I think it did.  Anyway, we like those set back a little bit, maybe 1.5 or 2mm.  So I edited all those tables to reflect this new global, plus the 35mm hole location, and subsequent holes referenced off of the 35mm distance.  

Formula examples:
=(G!Dim_To_First_Drw_Slide_Hole+ROUND(((35+0)/Unit_Divisor),Accuracy))
=(G!Dim_To_First_Drw_Slide_Hole+ROUND(((35+128)/Unit_Divisor),Accuracy))
=(G!Dim_To_First_Drw_Slide_Hole+ROUND(((35+224)/Unit_Divisor),Accuracy))
=(G!Dim_To_First_Drw_Slide_Hole+ROUND(((35+352)/Unit_Divisor),Accuracy))  etc etc

A pretty easy fix, but then again something that would do well included in the library right off the bat.  This is the older component library, which our company is still on.  Can anyone say if the new foundations library has this sort of feature built in?  Also, does the foundations library have a better and more accurate selection of Knape & Vogt drawer slides?  Looks like y'all were nice and cozy with Accuride for the component stuff.

Thanks for any answers!
