How do I change the value of a parameter?

Geometry Elements - Parameters


You may change the nominal value of a parameter in a geometry project as follows:

1.   Double-click on the parameter name. This is the equivalent of selecting the parameter, then selecting Modify => Parameter Properties from the main menu. The Parameter Properties dialog box appears on your display.

2.   Enter the desired value by editing the Nominal text entry box.

3.   Click on the OK button to close the dialog box and apply the value. Your circuit is redrawn to reflect the new nominal value of the parameter.

OR, use this method if you need to change the nominal value of more than one parameter in a geometry project or to change the value of a parameter in a netlist project.

1.   Select Circuit => Parameters from the project editor main menu. The Parameters dialog box appears on your display.

2.   Edit the Nominal Value text entry box for the desired parameter with the new value. If necessary, you may edit the values of multiple parameters while the dialog box is open.

3.   Click on OK to close the dialog box and apply the changes. In a geometry project, the circuit is redrawn to reflect the new values.

Tip:      When changing the nominal values of parameters in a geometry project, using the Apply button in the Parameter Properties dialog box or Parameters dialog box allows you to see the effect of the new value before closing the dialog box.
