Dialog of Modifiable variables table |
Scroll |
Dialog is designed to create and edit tables of modifiable variables. This table is used to change the values of the variable instances of the array, and for the array on the table also to specify the positions of the instances. Changing values of variables array instances, and for array by table Also for reference number assignments Of instances.
The dialog contains a table of variable variables and a toolbar.
The appearance of the table of variable variables in the dialog may be different.
•The new table contains only cells with instance numbers (for table array also coordinate column points).
•The generated table contains cells for setting the values of variables or the step of changing these values (for table array also the coordinates of the points or their pitch changes). It depends on the chosen method of setting values.
In more detail the composition of the table is given in sections describing how to work with it.
Dialog toolbar panel buttons allow you to make changes to the table.

Read variables |
The button allows you to add all variables of the object being copied to the table (Except Info). A separate column is created for each variable. If the table already contains some variables, then After you click the button, the remaining variables of the copied object will be added to it. Variable values for the copied object are displayed in the first row of the table and are not available for editing (the cells have gray color). White cells in the remaining rows are available for entering values. An empty cell means that the value of the variable coincides with the base. |
|
Insert variable |
The button allows you to add the desired variable of the copied object to the table of variable variables. After pressing the button, the Variables dialog will appear on the screen with a list of variables of the object being copied. Specify the required variable and press OK button. A column with this variable will be added to the table. The value of the variable for the copied object will appear in the cell of the first row, it is not editable (gray colored cell). White cells in the remaining rows are available for entering values. An empty cell means that the value of the variable coincides with the base. |
