I would like to insert a part in an assembly (already in my design library) that will ask via a pop-up window to insert some dimensions (lenght in this case). Does anyone knows how to do that ?

Simplest way is to create configs (in the design library part) of the different lengths involved, then when inserted into an assy, the configured length can be selected.
 
I already do that when I want to select from a list of standard dimensions. But here, I want to let this dimension to be user prompt because it could be anything from 0.25'' to 240''.
 
Is the created part going to be a Virtual Component?

If not, how are you intending to control duplicates?
