Standards Designer - Variable Tab
Info
Name
Enter the unique variable name.
Prompt
Enter the prompt that will appear for this variable in the Standard Wizard. The wizard always appends the variable name when displayed in the wizard, unless a colon ':' is the last character in the prompt. If no prompt is supplied the wizard displays the variable name instead. You can use the Indent button 
to position the prompt if required, by selecting a level from 0 to 4.
Description
Enter an optional description for the variable. This is used as a tool tip in the Standard Wizard.
Visible
Switch this option off if this variable should never be visible in the Standard Wizard.
Read Only
Switch this option on to prevent the value of the variable being changed when running the Standard Wizard. This could be useful for displaying intermediate values to users.
Visibility Formula
You can enter a formula or use the Expression Builder - 
form to determine whether or not this variable should be visible in the Standard Designer.
Variable Value
Type
From the pulldown list choose the required variable type: Angle, Area, Boolean, Integer, Length, Real, String, Volume or Weight.
Formula
Enter an optional formula or use the Expression Builder - 
to determine how the value of the variable should be calculated.
Use formula as default
A formula can be used to calculate the variable value but be intended only to be used as a default value. If the user changes the value then it will not be flagged as being overridden. When running the Standard Wizard and the user selects a new material these variables will not be automatically reset.
Default Value
Enter the default value of the variable when running the Standard Wizard for the first time.
Use dual units
Switch this option on if you wish to use dual units for this default value.
Result Rounding
Switch this option on if you want to round the resulting variable value. From the pulldown list choose Round up, Round down or Round to nearest. Values entered by users are rounded before being used in other formulae. Calculated values are rounded before being displayed to users but are used to their full precision in expressions. To round values in formulae use the Round function when specifying the expression.
increment
Specify the rounding increment value.
Entry Fields
Min Value
Max Value
Enter optional minimum and maximum values for the variable. If the value falls outside this range then the user will be given a warning message.
