The Type cell for User parameters displays a drop-down list of the value types.
The parameter can be sorted and can be set to Show or Hide in the Properties
palette. The value of the parameter resets to 1 when you change the type from
String to another type.
Parameters can be renamed; equations and values can be entered or modified.
Changes to a parameter name are immediately updated throughout the table
and in the Block Editor.
The parameters for the block definition are organized in the following
categories:
■ Action Parameters
■ Dimensional Constraint Parameters
■ Reference Parameters
■ User Parameters
■ Attributes
You can only add user parameters to the table. When you delete any item
from the table, the item is automatically deleted from the block definition.
Create a Dimensional Variable
To create a dimensional variable, you apply a dimensional constraint to an
object in the Block Editor. Dimensional variables are displayed under the
Dimensional Constraint Parameters group header in the Parameters Manager
palette.
User variables are custom variables that create and drive object relationships.
These variables can contain constants, or equations.
Click the New User Parameter icon on the Parameters Manager palette to
create a user variable. Alternatively, double-click an empty cell to create a
user-defined variable.
