You first have to create a measurement feature

Once created, you can open the relation window, and choose to insert a parameter from list:

You have to look in feature:

Then click on the measurement feature you first created and select the right parameter, click on "Insert Selected" and the measure parameter will be in your relation.

Welcome to the forum Vinit.You can save the measurement as a feature. As such, you can use the feature's parameters in relations.While editing your relations, click the "[ ]" button (next to the "fx") and the parameter window opens. At the "look-in" menu, select "feature" and click on the saved measurement feature in the feature tree. The parameters of the measurement will show in the "select parameter" screen. Highlight the parameter name you want to use in relations and click the "Insert Selected" at the bottom left of the parameter dialog. Now the parameter is added to your relation window. Here is an example: x=RADIUS:FID_276/2
