Parameter Variation

The Parameter Variation dialog

Summary

This dialog allows a user to view, edit or disable a varied parameter used for a component Variant.

Access

The Parameter Variation dialog is accessed by performing the following steps:

1. In a compiled project that includes variants, switch to a variant using the drop-down field in the Variants toolbar.
2. Switch the Schematic Editor from the base design view (Editor tab) to the compiled view tab, located at the bottom left-hand side of the workspace.
3. Double-click on a component's visible, varied parameter (for example, its Comment).

Options/Controls
