Question

I am trying to have annotation within my model that I can double click and edit the values. The following video shows what I am trying to do:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxNLfFJYvRI

I have the annotation in the model and linked it to the variables by putting &paramter after the parameters. However, when I am in the model tab I cannot click on the annotation and change the values. For example i have number of teeth as a annotation. I want to be able to click the number of teeth annotation and change it. Any help would be great.

Thank you

Do you have the values driven by relations?

Hi,

You have to press Alt+Double click on the parameter value to edit it. If you are with the annotation tab activated, then you just have to double click.

You can also download a model with editable annotations in here:

Just download it and tweak it a little.

It's a UDF with analysis feature using relations and using parameters within that analysis itself.It's little bit lengthy but easy to make.

Check it out from here download udf and see for yourself.http://www.mobiusid.com/free-downloads/ (dissect the udf)
