Variables section.
This section describes additional variables of the object. Since an object may have no additional variables, this section may be missing in the table.
You may need variables when several different fields use the results of same calculations. So, the additional variables can be used to store the results. You may also use the additional variables to store various object parameters, which you're working with, so that you don't have to refer to them.
To add this section to the table:
- Open the context menu in the table window and select
Insert Sections from the menu.
- This will bring up the Insert Sections dialog box. From the
dialog, check the Variables box and click OK. The Variables
section will be added to the table. It will have one row.
Sometimes it may be possible that the Variables section
already exists in the table, but is not visible.
To make the Variables section visible:
- Open the context menu in the table window, and select View
Sections from the menu.
- The View Sections dialog will come up. From the dialog, check
the Variables box and click OK. The Variables section appears in
the table.
To add new variables:
Open the context menu for the section you want, and select
Add Row from the menu. A new row for variables will be added to
the end of the section.
To delete a row with variables:
Open the context menu for the row you want to delete, and
select Delete Row from the menu. This will delete the row.
Removing the last row removes the entire section with it.
Each row contains two variables: X and Y. In the Formulas mode, you see the data in tenths of millimetres, in the Values mode the data is displayed in the current unit of measure.
