Feature request: Add "Apply"-button to parameters

[mroek]

Having design-wide user parameters can be very useful, but I find it very annoying that when you go to the "Change Parameters" menu and actually change a parameter, Fusion insists on recomputing the entire design for each parameter that is changed. This can take a long time if the parameter is driving an early feature in a large (or large-ish) design.

So, could you please add an "Apply"-button to that dialog box, so that it is possible to change multiple parameters without having Fusion getting in your way by recomputing all the time? When done editing the parameters, press "Apply" to have Fusion recompute all at once. It would also recompute on pressing OK, of course, the only difference being that it would also close the dialog box in that case (as it does today).

this one is on our list.  Though, we usually think of it a bit backwards from how you are describing it:  adding a "pause compute" toggle on the dialog so you can suppress compute until you are ready.

Oh, that's fine. The main point is a mechanism to avoid recomputing for every change, because sometimes a number of changes are needed simultaneously. What it's called and how it's used isn't important, as long as it achieves the purpose.
