Use this procedure to add individual part sizes to the model. You create individual part sizes by adding parameter 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 width of the junction box, change the data storage type of LenA1 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 New 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 LenA1 and enter a size.
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.
