Tip: Resolving Relations When Applying Shrinkage
By default, relations are computed based upon dimensions that are not shrunk. If relations are driven by parameters generated by evaluate features or by reference dimensions, the right hand side of the relation depends on the size of the geometry that is regenerated with the shrunk dimensions. Such relations are computed based on shrunk dimensions.
You have an option to compute relations based upon shrunk dimensions. To do this you should first set the configuration option allow_shrink_dim_before to yes (the default value for the configuration option is no). This will make visible the Calculation Order pane on the Shrinkage By Dimension dialog box. Selecting Before Relations on this pane will lead to computing dimensions based upon shrunk dimensions.
Table-driven dimension values behave the same as relation-driven dimension values. Table-driven dimensions are shrunk after or before propagation through the family table, depending on your selection of After Relations or Before Relations under the Calculation Order in the Shrinkage By Dimension dialog box.
