Product definition - Set parameters

00:03

When creating an Informed Design product definition in Inventor,

00:07

once you have identified the source content, you can define the parameters.

00:11

Inventor automatically defines model parameters in sketches, assembly constraints, and features.

00:18

Parameters can define the size and shape of features and control the relative positions of components within assemblies.

00:26

Parameters with values to be customized are adopted on the Parameters tab when publishing a product definition.

00:34

From the Product definitions Parameters tab, you can see a parameters table listing all the parameters that have been set.

00:42

From the Parameter Types drop-down, filter the types displayed in the table, such as Key or Model parameters.

00:49

Data in the Value column comes from the current parameter values in the Inventor model.

00:56

These values will be used as the default values for the product customization form,

01:01

but you have the option to change them on the Rules tab.

01:05

Use the check boxes on the left to select which parameters you want to adopt for the product definition.

01:12

At least one parameter must be adopted to create rules and publish.

01:18

Selected parameters appear in the Adopted list in the order in which you select them in the table, but you can reorder them.

01:26

Click the drag handle and move them up or down in the list.

01:30

Later, these same parameters will be listed in the product customization form in the order displayed in this Adopted list.

01:38

With your source content defined and parameters set,
