Size Selection Dialog Box (AutoCAD Mechanical Toolset)

This dialog box displays when a custom part or feature with defined parameters in its template is being inserted. It also displays when you power edit a custom part or feature.

Predefined Parameters

 

This pane is populated with parameter names and their values, if the part or feature being inserted has an attached table with visible columns. If the part or feature does not have a table attached or if the columns are not visible, this pane reads, “No predefined parameters available for size selection.”

List View

  Displays parameter information from the table using and Name and Value columns.
   

Name

Lists the name of the parameters.

If the table has key columns defined, the key parameters are listed in the Name column. The sequence of parameters in the list is based on the order of keys specified in the table for the part or feature.

If the table does not have defined key columns, all columns set to visible during insertion are listed in the Name column in the same order listed in the table.

   

Value

Lists the values of the parameters shown in the Name column.

Click a cell in the Value column to display a drop-down list of values for the parameter.

Tree View

 

Displays parameters in a tree view.

If the table for the part or feature has key columns defined, the tree relationship between the parameters is constructed based on the key’s sequence.

If the table does not have key columns defined, the tree relationship between the parameters is constructed based on the sequence of the visible columns in the table.

 

Displays all parameters that are set to be visible for size selection in the table of the part or feature template.

Table View

 

Displays all parameters that are set to be visible for size selection in the table of the part or feature template.

Drawtime Parameters

 

This pane displays dimensional or user parameters that are not used in the table, their values are not expressions, and are not reference parameters.

   

Name

Lists the name of the parameters.

   

Value

Activate value cells to enter a value for the parameter.
   

Range

Displays the range for parameters if ranges are specified in the view.
