■ All - Displays all associative variables. No filter is applied.
■ All Used in Expressions - Displays all variables that contain expressions to
evaluate a value, and variables contained in expressions.
■ Custom group filter - Displays all parameters added in the defined
parameter group.
Searching a Parameter
An edit box allows you to search for parameters by name.
Highlighting Dimensional Constraints
When you select a dimensional constraint in the Parameters Manager palette,

NOTE The object is not selected when highlighted; the highlighting is to visually
