Add User Parameters and Model Parameters to Drop Down Menu in Dimensions

[dirktheeng]

A good quick feature to add that makes for better user experience and model development speed is to add model parameters and user parameters to the dimensions.  This is present in Inventor but not Fusion.  I use it a lot and miss it now that I am a Fudion 360 user.

I remember someone posing an Idea to be able to create a parameter directly in the dimension dialog. Combining these two ideas would make this a very nice workflow.

Probably worth a bug report but since we're on the topic...

If you have parameters defined and you go to make a box and type in your parameters BEFORE it goes to the dialog inputs... it will pull in the value of the parameters but not maintain the link.

@dirktheeng,

We have implemented the ability to type in a parameter name and as you start typing a list of parameters (user and model) that start with that letter appear and can be selected.  Does this solve the intended workflow of your idea?
