Panel Parameter

 

 

 

 

This command creates a panel parameter that can be used in the Panel command. It will parameterize the creation of a panel (materials, edges and laminate).

 

 

Creation stages / Use:

 

Select the Construction > Other Settings > Panel Settings... command from the drop-down menu.

In an assembly document, the command is available directly from the menu.

 

  1. Enter the name of the parameter and its designation.

  2. Enter the number of sides.

 

 

 

This parameter will be useful when the same type of panel is often used, so it will be enough to use this parameter in the Panel command.

It can also be declared as a driver in the panel family to personalize the latter when included in different layouts.

 

 

Available options:

 

 

 

Allows you to define the multi-layer material to be used.

Select the material and a code if it comes from a family document.

 

The pink arrow in the center of the panel allows you to reverse the layout of the of the multilayer panel (top and bottom).

 

 

Automatic update :

 

 

Checking the auto-update option allows drivers to be updated automatically after modifying one of their values.

If the box is unchecked, a manual update option is proposed.
