Variables
After calling this command, the variable, for which this command was called, will be removed. Note that,
only unused variables can be removed (in the column “Not used” a symbol “?” will be standing next to such
variable). The command “Delete” is not available for used variables.
Diagnostics of Errors
Upon creating the new variables and also the further work with the variables, various errors can arise.
Usually these are the syntax errors in the expression of the variable. In this case, for the problem variable the
sign will be shown in the column “State”. Upon bringing the cursor to this sign, a tooltip about the type
of the error will appear. At the same time, the color of the field “Value” will be changed to red manifesting
the existence of the error. In addition, for the given variable a detailed description of the arisen error will
appear in the column “Message” (by default this column is turned off).
In spite of the existence of errors, it is possible to finish the work in the variables editor, and get back to their
correction later. The existence of errors in the variables editor does not affect the recalculation of the 2D/3D
model elements of which depend on the incorrect variables.
