Change Parameters Help

[ianhughes7UFVF]

Hi

I have been advised to use the Change Parameters menu item to setup user defined measurements for my project.

I have started this project where I have a plate that is 10mm thick. It will have other parts attached to it that may also be 10mm thick.

But I know that I may need to redesign the frame to different measurements, highly likely 6mm.

Some one suggested making User defined parameters with names that I can change in the Change Parameter area as this will save redrawing the whole project.

I carn't seem to understand how to make a user defined parameter.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have attached the plate for the frame to this post if that helps.

Kind Regards

Ian

If you enter a. dimension, a counter in patterns or an angle this value is only accessible in the feature. If you define parameters and use them in features or sketches you have a central place to change those values. You can use one parameter in many features / sketches within a project so you can manipuilate even more elements with one parameter.
If you want to have a fully flexible design, you have to use constrains to convert the blue lines in your sketches into black lines and you have to use parameters..

Here an example why constrains are important if you want to have an flexible design:
