A relay parameter is defined locally (and can therefore be used in a formula), but always has the same value as the same parameter that it relays.

External:

The parameter uses the parameter value of another document.

Select the document that has a parameter from the drop-down list. (document must be open).
Select the parameter to relay.

Internal:

The parameter accesses the internal parameters of a component. For example, use this method to obtain the nominal diameter parameter of a screw that was included in an assembly, by selecting the screw and choosing the correct parameter.

Project:

The parameter uses the parameter value of the project.

Select the parameter of the current project to relay.
