The task-specific settings are:

mp_Task_EditFeatureParam

1.Search by

Select whether the entry in Search (2) is compared with the parameter name or the parameter value.

2.Search

Enter the comparison value. You can use RegEx. The icon RegexButton opens the RegEx Editor.

3.New type

You can assign a new data type to the feature parameter. The data types String, Integer, Double, and Boolean are available. Specifying a new type replaces any other specifications for the parameter. If you want to retain the old value, enter @para@.

Boolean: true / yes / 1 are interpreted as true. false / no / 0 and all other entries that are not recognized are interpreted as false.
String: Character string
Integer: Whole number
Double: Real number

4.New value

You can assign a new value to the feature parameter. Specifying a new value replaces any other specifications for the parameter.

5.If Model is Instance

Use the Change Parameter in generic check box to select whether the model is edited if it is an instance and also has a generic part.

If this box is ticked, the outcome of the revision may differ depending on whether the parameter is generic or in the family table.

6.If Model is Generic

Select the Process all instances checkbox to specify whether all instances should be processed if the model is a generic part.

If this text box is ticked, the New value (4) is re-evaluated for each instance. This value is then assigned to each instance. It is important to ensure that the value is in the family table. In multi-level family tables, this task is only performed for instances for which the parameter is in the family table of the direct generic parent, even if the generic parent itself is an instance.

7.Feature Filter

Enter one or more features for which this task should or should not be applied. To build the feature filter tree, see Filter Tree.

Please note: Deleting PDM parameters can lead to inconsistent data. This can affect usage with or without a PDM system.
