Similar to tool palettes, you can also use these palettes to add parameters and
actions to your dynamic block definition.
Change Properties of Tools
In the Tool Properties dialog box, you can change the following properties of
custom tools:
■ Tool description
■ Parameter type
■ Associated action(s)
■ Key point on the parameter to which the action is tied (if applicable)
■ Tool palette image
NOTE You cannot drag parameters and actions from the Block Editor onto a
regular tool palette.
Use Parameter Sets
The Parameter Sets tab of the Block Authoring palettes allows you to add
commonly paired parameters and actions to your dynamic block definition.
When you first add a parameter set to your dynamic block definition, a yellow
alert icon is displayed next to each action. This indicates that you need to
associate a selection set with each action. You can double click the yellow
alert icon (or use the BACTIONSET command) and follow the Command
prompts to associate the action with a selection set.
NOTE When you insert a lookup parameter set and double click the yellow alert
icon, the Property Lookup Table dialog box is displayed. Lookup actions are
associated with the data you add to this table, not a selection set.
