Managing Parameters

Modifying Dimensional Constraint Parameters

Use the Parameters command to display the Parameters palette.

Use the Parameters command to display the Parameters Manager palette to view Dimensional Constraints parameters.

You can define, modify, rename, and delete constraint expressions and variables.

For detailed information about using expressions and variables, see Defining Dimensional Constraints Parameters.

You can do the following:

  • Search a parameter by name
  • Filter the list of parameters
  • Sort the parameters list by name, expression, or value

The Parameters palette is available in the drawing and in the Block Editor.

To display the Parameters palette:

  • Click Constraints > Parameters Manager (or type Parameters).

To search a parameter by name:

  • On the Parameters palette, type the name of the parameter in the search box in the upper-right corner of the palette and press Enter.

To filter the Parameters list:

  1. On the Parameters palette, expand Filter.
  2. Select an option to control the display of user-defined variables in the list:
    • All: Displays all user-defined variables.
    • Used in expressions: Displays only the user-defined variables used in expressions.
    • Unused in expressions: Displays only the user-defined variables not used in expressions. Right-click, then click Delete Parameter to remove unused variables from the list.

To sort the Parameters list:

  • In the Parameters list, click a column name in the title bar (Name, Expression, or Value) to sort the list alphabetically according to the column title.
  • Click the same column title again to restore the previous order.
