Parameters and constraints panel

The Parameters and Constraints panel offers a central location to view and modify parameters and constraints in the current drawing.

Parameter list

Displays a list of all the parameters and constraints in the drawing. They are organized in expandable categories which may include user parameters, 2D dimensional constraints, 3D dimensional constraints, 3D geometric constraints, block parameters and array parameters. Right-click menus offer additional tools for some parameters and constraints:

Units: Sets the dimension of the parameter. You can choose between: none, linear, square and cubic.

Geometry-driven: If checked, it makes the parameter geometry-driven.

Create design table: Creates a design table to drive parametric block parameters.

Animate: Animates parameter value within some range.

Exposed: Defines whether the parameter is visible and can be modified when the component is inserted in an assembly

Clean unused variables: Erases the unused variables.

Link to parameter: Links subcomponent parameter to the main level parameter.

Name

Specifies the name of the parameter.

Expression

Specifies the mathematical expression of the parameter.

Value

Specifies the value resulting from the parameter’s expression.

New user parameter

Inserts a new user parameter with default values for the Expression and Value.

Delete a user parameter

Removes selected parameter and constraints from the drawing.

Show dependent parameters

Toggles the display of dependent parameters on or off.

Show defining parameters

Toggles the display of defining parameters on or off.

Hide geometrical constraints

Toggles the display of geometrical constraints on or off.

Search

Filters the parameter list to display only the parameter names that match the character string you enter.
