Parameter Variable Name
If creating a parameter variable, enter a name for it.
If modifying a parameter variable, enter its database name.
Type
(only in create mode)
Select one of the following:
left/right - Define either the left or the right parameter variable, and your template-based product creates the corresponding opposite parameter variable by default.
single - Define a nonsymmetric parameter variable.
Enter a value for the parameter variable. Make sure that the value is of the same type as the option displayed. For example, if the option is Integer, enter an integer value.
Hide from standard user
Select to hide the parameter variable from standard users, preventing them from accessing it from the Modify Parameter Variable dialog box in Standard Interface.
The parameter variables' database names reflect their visibility status:
A hidden parameter variable has a ph[lrs]_* prefix.
A visible parameter variable has a pv[lrs]_* prefix.
Select to display a dialog box where you can add multi-line comments to any entity, to describe its purpose and function. Your template-based product displays different comments dialog boxes, depending on the entity type for which you want to record comments:
- If recording comments for modeling entities in Standard Interface, your template-based product displays the Entity Comments dialog box.
- If recording comments for any other entity type, your template-based product displays the Modify Comment dialog box.
