Decorative elements tabs

Parameters

Use this tab to add new parameters to the expression, edit the existing parameters, delete a parameter from the expression, copy an existing parameter, show references to other uses of the parameter, and move the parameter up or down in the instantiation order of the expression.

Functions

Use this tab to add new functions to the expression, edit the existing functions, delete a function from the expression, copy an existing function, paste an existing function, and show references to other uses of the function.

Expressions

Use this tab to add an existing expression to the selected library object. Using saved expressions eliminates repetitive expression coding when multiple fields use the same expression, or when an existing expression can be used as a template. Double-click an expression from either the

Most Recently Used

or

Saved

lists to add that expression to the Expression box. If needed, expressions can be deleted from the expressions list using this tab. The

Library Designer

saves a running list of the last ten expressions created in the

Expression Builder

. Saved expressions are available to all projects opened in the

Library Designer

.

Both functions and expressions can be saved within the

Library Designer

and used in future projects.

Predefined

Use this tab to add items from the list of global and local parameters that are available to all library objects to the expression. Predefined parameters cannot be modified, deleted, copied, or pasted.
