User Parameters - Show quick link to user created parameters
When creating a drawing and using dimension driven parameter I would like to be able to see a quick scroll of the parameter I've previous assigned. If I am working with more then just a few it can get confusing quickly remember exact naming of different dimensions.
Essentially the process would go like
Start sketch
Draw figure
Dimension
Inculded in drop down menu of Dimension would be user parameters (even better create on from that menu as well).
I agree - though I think the "requirements"/suggestion needs clarifying a bit.
Parameter driven design is very powerful - but currently a bit clunky to use.
Currently (2/1/2016) specifying a (User) Parameter name into a Value field etc. is tedious. I've ended up keeping a separate text pad of the parameter names I've created so that I can easily recall them or copy/paste!!! That's crazy.
What's needed is something MUCH slicker at the data entry point. (i.e. at the Value input field).
E.G. EITHER
Amend the Parameters form (opened from Modify/Change Parameters) so that
It can float open like the Browser pane.
It does not need to be closed to return to working on the workdesk. Which means valid Parameter changes must immediately be live, not "Applied" by the User.
Double clicking on (or some other quick, easy method) a Parameter Name pastes it into the current Value field position if one is the focus. I.e. the Parameters pane becomes a quick lookup/paste method for entering Parameters into Value fields.
OR ELSE
Provide a User Parameter lookup ability from every Value entry field and when entering/amending value expressions. The "Recently Used" is inaddequate.
Add the User Parameters either to the Browser List or to a new List panel and make it possible when entering a Value expression to select a parameter into the expression from the lookup list.
AND (in either case)
Make typing into the Value field pop up a list of relevant Parameters as the typed characters infer, with the ability to select from the suggestion(s) or not.
Thank you for your idea, this is being changed to future consideration. We have it in our backlog to be able to expose your favorite parameters in the browser as a way to access them in the model.
Only thing that's changed is that there is autofill for user parameters, so as you start to type if something is similar it starts to fill its self, would still like a drop down option too though.
