I have a dodgy parameter, but I can't delete it.

Parameter deletion failed.

This parameter cannot be deleted.  It is used in the expression of another parameter, ''.
---------------------------
OK

How do I find this mysterious parameter with no name so I can correct it?

Hi @banksysan,

 

In the Modify Menu of Fusion 360, you can select Change Parameters.

 

In here, you can look through your parameters and find the offending expression.

 

Thanks,

It's not displaying in there.  I suspect it's because it's somehow got there without a name.

The reason you cannot delete the "SlotL" parameter is because it is corrupt in your model.  In the attached video I show the process of repairing it and then deleting it.  I do not know how it became corrupt.  Your model, if the corrected parameter and then deleted is attached.
