Command Options

Option

Description

New

Creates a user variable. Prompts you:

Enter name for new user parameter - type a name for the new user variable.

Enter expression - enter a valid mathematical expression or a fixed value.

Edit

Edits the expression for the dimensional constraint or user variable. Prompts you:

Enter parameter name - type the name of a dimensional constraint parameter or a user variable.

Old Expression = (d1*2 + p)/3, Value = 4.33333

Enter expression - type a new mathematical expression or press Enter to confirm the current expression.

Rename

Renames a dimensional constraint or user variable. Prompts you:

Enter old parameter name - type the name of an existing dimensional constraint or user variable.

Enter new parameter name - type a new name for the dimensional constraint or user variable.

Delete

Deletes a dimensional constraint or user variable. Prompts you:

Enter parameter name to delete - type the name of an existing dimensional constraint or user variable.

?

Lists all dimensional constraints and user variables in the current drawing, showing the name, expression and current value of each dimensional constraint or user variable.
