Parameters in the Part Table

Parameters in the Part Table

Parameters can be displayed in the part table. This works in a very similar way to how parameters are displayed in keyword edit panels. If a field contains a parameter, the parameter name is displayed with an "&" at the front. The example below shows a part table containing a part where the section ID is defined using a parameter, "fred".

The parameter value can be viewed by clicking on the "P" button in the top right of the part table. This button can be used to toggle between displaying parameters or their value. If the parameter value is displayed, then the value will be underlined to indicate it as a parameter value.

For editable fields, parameters can be added/edited by right clicking on the field and typing an "&" into the input box on the popup. This works in the same way as inputting/editing parameters in edit panels. Typing in & will also bring up a further popup for selection of parameters should they already exist in the model. See Using Parameters in Edit Panels for more details.
