Use this procedure to add individual part sizes to the model. You create individual part sizes by adding parameters values. Values can be a list or table of values, constant values, or calculations.
You can also create unique part size names. Each part size name is generated using a calculation—a formatted string of parameter values and text.
- To add part sizes to the part, in the part browser, right-click Size Parameters, and click Edit Configuration.
The Size Parameters dialog box is displayed.
Note: Calculated values set in the model cannot be edited in the Size Parameters dialog box. To change these values you must edit the model. - To add a table of available sizes for the lengths and widths of the top and bottom faces of the diffuser, change the data storage type of the LenA1, LenA2, LenA3, and LenA4 parameters to Table.
- In the toolbar, select Values from the list.
The parameter values are displayed.
- To add a new part size, click the first row in the table, and then click
on the toolbar. A new part size row is added to the Size Parameters dialog box. Repeat for each new part size you want to add.
- For each part size, double-click in the LenA1, LenA2, LenA3, and LenA4 parameters and enter values. Tip: You can copy and paste values from other part families using standard Microsoft® Windows copy and paste functionality (Ctrl+C for Copy and Ctrl+V for Paste). You can copy and paste values from another part open in Content Builder, from a part open in Catalog Editor, or from a Microsoft® Excel spreadsheet. For connector parameters, you can also insert the corresponding values for the segments used by default during layout.
