When using parameterized components in an assembly:
- You can have many components in an assembly that are based on a single component definition, but with different values for their independent parameters.
- When you change the value of a parameter of a component, it preserves any relationships with other components.
- You can change the value of any independent parameter. If this parameter is used by another parameter in that component, the dependent parameter will also be updated. The dependent parameter is not displayed in the Parameter List Editor dialog.
When modifying parameters used by components from Toolmaker catalogs:
- Components with the same name that are from the same catalog are modified using the Component Wizard. This lets you apply the same parameter values to the selected components.
- If selected components are mix of Toolmaker components and general components, the Parameter List Editor dialog is displayed. Enter a new value to modify a parameter.
- If all selected components are Toolmaker components, but are from different catalogs or have different names, the Parameter List Editor dialog is displayed. Enter a new value to modify a parameter.
