Use Parameter Sets (Concept)

Use the Parameter Sets tab on the Block Authoring palette to add commonly paired parameters and actions to your dynamic block definition.

You add a parameter set to your block the same way you add a parameter. The action included in the parameter set is automatically added to your block definition and associated with the added parameter. You must then associate a selection set (geometry) with each action.

When you first add a parameter set to your dynamic block definition, a yellow alert icon is displayed next to each action. This indicates that you need to associate a selection set with each action. You can double click the yellow alert icon (or use the BACTIONSET command) and follow the command prompts to associate the action with a selection set.

NoteWhen you insert a lookup parameter set and double click the yellow alert icon, the Property Lookup Table dialog box is displayed. Lookup actions are associated with the data you add to this table, not a selection set.

The following table lists the parameter sets provided on the Parameter Sets tab of the Block Authoring palette.
