switch to non-modal Parameters window?

Any way to force the Parameters window to be non-modal (a/k/a stays open while I'm working on the model or drawing)?

 

I'd like to be able to pick parameters, or, at the very least, see my user parameters while I'm adding dimensions. I know I can pull open the drop down list of named parameters when I enter a dimension, but I'd go a lot faster by pointing and clicking where I can see both the named parameter and its value.

Please create a post in the Inventor IdeaStation forum.  There are a number of different posts there proposing changes to the Parameters dialog box, but none that include this idea.  After you post there, put a link here to your IdeaStation post so we can go vote for it.

This is a great idea.

I often use the windows Snipping Tool to take a snapshot of my parameters that I can view them while working on the model.

At least this way I can see my parameters, but it sure would be nice to be able to select them directly.
