Editing an Equation

When editing, keep the following in mind:
  • Dimension names must be enclosed in quotes.
  • Equations are solved left to right (that is, the dimension on the left is driven by the value on the right).
  • Equations are solved in the order in which they appear in the Ordered view. You can change the order, if necessary.
  1. Do one of the following:
    • Click Equations OTTool_Equations_Tools.gif (Tools toolbar).
    • Click Tools > Equations.
    • Right-click the Equations FM_equations.gif folder in the FeatureManager design tree, and select Manage Equations.
  2. Select the Equations View equations_view_icon.
  3. Select an equation, global variable or dimension.
  4. Edit the entry.

    Use the type-ahead entry, flyout menu of Equations, Global Variables, Functions and File Properties, and syntax checking to edit the equation.

    If you make a mistake, click Undo tool_undo.gif to clear each consecutive edit. You can clear one edit each time you click Undo.

  5. Click OK to close the dialog box.
