Can someone explain to me why Parametric modeling, using the Modify > Change Parameters menu, is linked to Capture Design History? There are features I want to use where I need to turn Capture Design history Off(Organizing the component Tree), and I was surprised that this then turned off Parametric Modeling. Doubly Surprised to then find that it had wiped out all my saved "User Parameters" I had so nicely Parametrically Modeled. Turning Design history Back on did not restore my list of user defined dimensions.
I had been building a new cabinet and had set some custom dimensions under the Change Parameters menu(Plywood thickness, and various reused heights and widths). Continued designing. I decided I wanted to group a set of components inside of another component. So I turned off Capture Design History, dragged components inside of another component. BLAM. Parametric Modeling was then gone when I went to make my next piece.
Shouldn't a Workflow that does not capture Design History still be able to use Parametric Modeling conventions like referencing other known dimensions and saved user dimensions? I was looking forwards to going back and changing the Plywood thickness. But Now I can't without starting all over, and changing the extrudes of each piece manually.
Is this a bug or WAD(Working as Designed)?
