Parameters cleanup methods - prune unused entries and highlight usage

Parameters cleanup methods - prune unused entries and highlight usage

In custom-parameter driven designs the list of "User Parameters" can become long quickly. I would like to see a couple of convenience improvements for managing them.

 

The one feature I would need the most is a sort of automatic "prune" or clean-up button.

This button would permanently delete all custom parameters which are not used anywhere in the model, i.e. don't drive any dimension or feature (in the full history, of course)

 

This would be be particular useful when importing/copying components (as new) which automatically creates new entries (it has to!), but which are left over when one later modifies deletes them.

 

Another very useful feature would be a way to "highlight" where user-parameters are used, i.e. select one in the list of user-parameters, and see a filtered (or highlighted) list of "model-parameters" showing only those which use the entry.

This should work like when you select an item in the design and all components and timeline items are underlined with a pattern. So click a parameter and then all components, bodies, sketches and timeline features that use that parameters should be highlighted. It is really something I could use very often.

I am also looking for the ability to purge unused parameters. For example, if you insert another f360 file, and then decide to delete it... All of the parameters which were associated to that model are not removed with the deletion of the model.
