Creating Sets of Parameters  

This task explains how to create sets of parameters.
You can create sets of parameters below the Parameters node of the specification tree. Using this capability enables you to regroup parameters by categories.
  1. Check at least Parameters and Relations of the Display tab in the Tools>Options...>Infrastructure>Part Infrastructure settings.

  2. Open any document containing at least one parameter or create a document and add a parameter to it (otherwise, you won't have the Parameters node displayed in the specification tree).

  3. Click the icon, then select the Parameters node in the specification tree. The Parameters.1 (or Parameters.n) parameter set is added to the specification tree right below the Parameters node.

  4. Click the   icon to add a new parameter in the created parameter set. The Parameter Explorer dialog box is displayed. In the specification tree, select the Parameter Set you want to add a parameter to. The name of the parameter set is displayed in the Feature field of the Parameter Explorer dialog box.

  5. Fill in the other fields of the Parameter Explorer dialog box. If need be, see Adding a Parameter to a Feature.

  6. After you have finished specifying the new parameter, click OK in the Parameter Explorer dialog box. In the specification tree, you can expand the feature which represents the parameter set. A new parameter has been added below the parameter set.

Parameters belonging to a parameter set can be reordered by using Reorder... from the contextual menu.
