Make parameter definitions required or optional

You can use the preference PLE_Parameter_Create_With_Definition_Ux to make parameter definitions required or suppressed when adding parameters to objects. You can also use the preference PLE_Parameter_Create_With_Application_Ux to allow the selection of Weight and Volume parameters when creating parameter definitions.

When the selection of a parameter definition is suppressed on the Add Parameter panel, the user can still select the unit and the type. The application still creates a definition behind the scenes, based on the selections. The name of this definition is automatically created in the format <unit_type>, for example km_double. The application reuses this definition when the same <unit_type> is used again.

Note: Weight is available only when the Weight and Balance feature has been deployed. Volume is available only when the Volume feature has been deployed.

Restrictions and limitations

This feature requires Teamcenter... (source is truncated at this point; a comparison table follows in the original showing the Add Parameter panel "with parameter definitions suppressed" vs "with parameter definitions required" as screenshots, no further text content).
