select parameter

[j.vanderheijden]

When i place a rectangel in a sketch i can't select the parameters to be directly linked to size.
I must first enter a number, delete the number and can then through the triangle to the parameter list.
Is it possible to approach  the parameters directly ?

Just type in the name of the parameter that you want to set it to.

When I start a rectangular part, I usually define my parameters in the sketch by typing straight into sketch boxes.

e.g. 'width=100mm" and "length=100mm"

It makes it easier to keep track of parameters in a sketch if you right-click -> Dimension Display -> Expression
