For some reason I am not getting an option to be allowed to delete this parameter (which I created like 3 minutes before). Creo can be awfully difficult in the way it handles options and I for the life of me cant figure it out after much googling and searching.

Any idea what "I" am doing wrong?

To recap there is a way to get relations in selected features that is "look in" and then selecting the feature where the parameter is being used.

I figured the best way to avoid this issue is instead of deleting the dimension with the relation it is best to change it.

For example, I have created a new parameter y with a value of 5 again and made sd1 equal it. (Note that the diameter is now sd1 instead of sd0 since sd0 was deleted previously)

Instead of deleting said dimension to change the value I will go into relations and change the value of the dimension there so that it is not equal to y anymore.

I set the value to 22 and verify the relations, the circle now has dia 22 and parameter y is not being used anywhere else and I am free to delete it.

I have made it a bit tedious but I hope it was helpful. Let me know if you have any problems.
Best regards,

I am not sure but it seems to me that happens when the parameter is being referenced by something else for example a dimension is using the parameter as a relation, try right clicking the parameter and go to info-> where used. Does it show it being used somewhere?

Right thats likely it its saying it is used as one of the dimensions but i deleted it when I changed the parameter name (created a new one) and there is no longer a dimension in the drawing but its obviously stored somewhere. 

 

How do I find a list of dimensions in the drawing and delete the one its attached to?

You can see its attached to something but its not driving anything. The sd4 is a ghost literally not being used by anything.

Is there a way to see a FULL list of these "sd4" dimensions being auto created?
