Reflecting Editable Parameters: A = C & C = A

Lingwisyer

Hey all,

Is there a way to reflect values between editable parameters?
Or is there some way to make the base parameters A and B visible in the Custom Settings tab.

I am wanting to be able to edit the height and width of my object using both the object settings dialogue and the default Size Parameter.

It is easy enough to make A = C or C = A, but to make them both happen brings into the issue of execution order(?).

What about ...

if GLOB_MODPAR_NAME = "A" then
C=A
PARAMETERS C=C
endif

if GLOB_MODPAR_NAME = "C" then
A=C
PARAMETERS A=A
endif

This way each will be the same as the other but will only change when either of the parameters is changed and not at any other time.

Ah, so that is what glob_modpar is for. Did not get it when I saw it in the manual.


Thanks,
