T-FLEX Parametric CAD. Fundamentals. 2D Design

Variables
the selected section.
The created file can be used while working with other T-FLEX CAD documents.
When the list is created on the basis of date, the dialog window pops up, in which the date representation
format can be specified, for example, “DD.MM.YY”. The variable, for which this list is specified, has to be a
text variable. After that, upon making a selection from the list, the window in the form of a calender will
emerge, in which any required date can be chosen.
Also, it is possible to form the list on the basis of materials list (only in 3D version of the system). Such list
can be formed only for the text variable. Upon creating the list, the window of the text editor appears, in
which all materials, used in the 3D model of the current document, are included by default. If necessary, the
list can be edited manually.
In order to edit the created list, it is necessary to use the button [Edit…] of the group “Value List”. For
each type of the list, the corresponding edit method will be called.
For removing any list of values, it is enough to put again the value “No” in the drop-down list of the group
“List”. If the list is created on the basis of database, then only connection with the database will be broken,
the database itself will be preserved.
Window “Assistant”
To specify the values of the variables, the user can use a special auxiliary window “Assistant”:
