Set object properties by using parametric variables
Use parametric variables to set basic properties (such as name, material, profile, position number, and so on) for any object the custom component creates. Parametric variables automatically get the prefix P (parameter), which is shown in the Variables dialog box.
The following example shows how to create a variable that sets all welds in a custom component to a given size. After creating the variable, you are able to change the weld size directly in the custom component's dialog box.
