Solve for Variations
With the parameters defined, you can now SOLVE for variations:
• Select SOLVE NoKeep. All the parameterized dimensions are now adjusted according to the expressions you entered in the parameter definition table. The height is now .75 of the base, the "Dim1" and "Dim3" dimensions are equal, and both are .2 of the base dimension.

• Since all the linear dimensions are related to the base dimension, you only need to modify this dimension to make the entire part adjust. Try assigning several different values to the base dimension, solving after each change. You can change this dimension one of three ways:
a. Select ASSIGN, Dimension, pick the dimension label, and enter the new value.
b. Select EDIT Parameters and enter a new value in the "New Value or Expression" field of the Base entry.
c. Go to MENU 1. All value parameters can be modified directly by picking their entries in the table on MENU 1.
