Removing an Expression

Access: To remove parametric relations/expressions:

  1. Display the Edit Parameters dialog or the Sketcher Dimension dialog.

  1. Pick the dimension whose value is to be an expression.

  2. From the dialog displayed in step 1, press the Create Relation button to enter expression mode.

When defining expressions in the Edit Parameters dialog or the Sketcher Dimension dialog, you can cancel the expression by pressing the Create Relation toggle button . This collapses the dialog and displays a numeric value in the dimension field. The numeric value displayed, depends on whether you are cancelling a new expression (an expression still being created) or an existing expression.

Note: While this operation can be performed from the Edit Parameters dialog or the Sketcher Dimension dialog, the examples below use the Edit Parameters dialog.

To cancel a new expression:

  1. Press the Create Relation toggle button in the Edit Parameters dialog. This collapses the Edit Parameters dialog and displays the original numeric dimension value in the dimension field.

To cancel an existing expression:

  1. Select the dimension to display the Edit Parameters dialog in expression mode.

  2. Press the Create Relation toggle button in the Edit Parameters dialog. This collapses the Edit Parameters dialog and displays the numeric value of the expression in the dimension field.

This action may be used to break a cyclic loop.

Pressing the button again (during the same or an other session), restores the last available expression.
