Export parameter at dimension creation or edit.

I believe this would save some clicks.  Currently you have to create the dim then go into the parameters dialog then find parameter and click export.  Let's just do it from the dimension window.

The ability to access the Custom Property Format settings would be nice as well, and would make this idea even more of a time saver.  You're not really gaining much if you still have to open up the Parameters dialog box to format the exported values.

That may be adding too much to the tiny dimension editing box - if so, it could be put in the Dimension Properties dialog box instead.

jtylerbc that is a great point. If Autodesk updates the Edit Dimension dialog it should look and respond the same as the Parameters Window. (Consistent User Interface)

Equation, Key and Export checkboxes (use tooltips to distinguish them)

Right-click the equation to access Dimension Properties and Custom Property Format

Thanks for the great input guys, I kind of threw this idea out there in a moment of frustration.  I was hoping it would get expanded on.
