Create any of the features above.
Let's take an example by performing a rotation.
  1. Once you selected the inputs to create the rotated element, click Preview to display the associated parameters in the 3D geometry.

  2. Double-click the angle value in the 3D geometry.

    The Edit Parameter dialog box appears.
  3. Use the spinners to modify the value.

    The display automatically updates and the object is modified accordingly.
    You can modify the angle value using the Angle manipulators.
    • To display the parameters' values, you need to click the Preview button. Otherwise, only manipulators are displayed.

    • To edit the parameters once the feature is created, select it in the specification tree, right-click xxx.1object > Edit Parameters from the contextual menu.

    • If you want the parameters to be kept permanently, check the Parameters of features and constraints option in Tools > Options > Infrastructure > Part Infrastructure > Display.
