Parameters
Model	Displays the part model tree with features and feature related parameters.
User	List of User parameters. Decide if a dimensional parameter is used for mapping.
Threads	Provides list of threads in the part template with Thread Family, Designation, and Class parameters.
iProperties	Provides part template iProperties - Summary, Project, Physical (only material) and Custom.
Suppression	Allows selection of a feature to map to a table column and specifies individual features to compute or suppress for each family member.

Valid Template parameter mapping

Only parameters that match data types can be mapped together. For example, feature suppression (Boolean) cannot be mapped to Nominal Diameter (Real).

The data type for each parameter (category, table column, and template parameter) is displayed as a tooltip.

What if the table columns are not presented in the Category Parameters tab (Template parameters mapping to Category Parameters)

In a special case when a single .ipt part is authored, only the Category Parameters tab is displayed and allows mapping of template parameters directly to Category parameters.

A template parameter or entered constant value must be mapped for all "Required" category parameters.
