How do I identify dependent parameters?

Geometry Elements - Parameters

One parameter is dependent upon another if the anchor point and/or the reference point(s) for the second parameter are part of an adjustable point set for the first parameter. You need to be aware of dependent parameters so that you can take into consideration the complete impact on your circuit when the value of the primary parameter is changed. When the primary parameter is changed, a dependent parameter is adjusted, i.e., the anchor point or reference point is moved, along with the primary parameter on which they depend.

To determine if a parameter has any dependent parameters, do the following:

1. Right-click on a parameter in your circuit and select Dependent Parameters from the pop-up menu which appears on your display.

2. If there are no dependent parameters on this parameter, only the parameter you selected is highlighted.

3. If the parameter has dependent parameters, these are highlighted as well as the original parameter you selected.
