parameters input hint

parameters input hint

Hi,

 

my idea is to have possibility to auto fill parameter name when after input of first characters in dimmension dialog box if it is unique:

 

Here inventor should auto fill proposal for parameter wall_thickess maybe little bit greyed and auto apply if tab or whatevere key is pressed.

Maybe it could be switch on/off using user options?

Dear Autodesk,

If you start to do something with that you could give little bit more improvements, first of all you could give dimmension input box apperence of for example ilogic, im talking about colours for operators, functions, but also some hint like below:

and give me chance to expand it vericaly as well, with wrapping text and all it would look better in my opinion:

all companies i used and still work with use parametric models with mass of parameters, expressions and dependencies, it is werry irritation to work with such hilariuos input box.

 

next give me chance to make my favorite parameters  with possibility to manipulate this list, or show all user parameters in document, to be possible to acces it without clicking on list parameters listbox item here:

inventor in stadard does not give nothinng exept xml import/export method - wchich is in my opinion some relict of past, you could give some more possibilities here as well, i already made this in coule of rules, scripts, and addins, using  place component event but, i check if all user parameters from the placed component are present in assembly if not then user for example is prompted with question - do you want to copy parameters from component ? it can be like button on parameters tab - copy parameters from component, and next one copy parameters from file chosen in open component window autodesk native file or this exported xml. also flush to file chosen from open window would be good idea, simmilar to vaults assign parameters:
