BUG: Cylinder primitive discards diameter expression, also does not support parameter naming.

[tg]

Reproduction:

• In the solid workspace, create a cylinder primitive.
• Use a non-trivial expression for both the diameter and height (eg, reference other parameters, or use a math function).

Once the cylinder is created, examine the model parameters. The height correctly retains the original expression. The diameter incorrectly stores only the evaluated result of the expression - I would expect it to store the full expression.

Also, using the parameter assignment form when dimensioning the diameter (eg, entering "MyParam=1234") is not accepted as valid input (it shows red).

Hi @tg,

Do you see an [fx] button in the Cylinder dialog indicated in the screenshot? I can use it to toggle between the formula expression and value.

If possible, please post the f3D of an example if this doesn't work in your situation.

Hope this helps!
Best regards,
