assigning a variable

In a previous version of ProEngineer I was able to assign a value to a varible then use it to build a parametric model. An example I could give D the value of 4.00 and then set a dimension in my model d1=D, then I could build relations from there. I could go back and change the value of D, regen the model and everything would change accordingly. The problem I am having with creo parametric 2.0 is I can't find where to set the value of D.

    Tools --> parameters. Hit the green plus button. Type in the name, select variable type, and add the value.

    Creating a variable and assigning a value can also be done in a relation. Tools --> Relations

    D=4.00

    The benefit to doing in a relation is you can add a comment to explain what is going on along with the relation you create to control your dimension. i.e.:

    /* Sets the diameter of widget to parameter D

    D=4.00

    d1=D
