• Basic Properties
– ‘Parameters’ option for importing
parameters defined in CAD package
– ‘Parameter Key’ filters the parameters
from CAD that enter Workbench
• If not specified, all parameters enter WB
• Advanced Properties
– Select ‘Use Associativity’ to establish association between CAD and
WB
– Import defined CAD properties :
• Coordinate Systems,
• Work Points, etc.
– Smart CAD Update
• Changes made in other options get updated in the mode

CAD Connections : Approach I
• Uni-directional connectivity
• Import neutral/native CAD files directly into Design Modeler
• Bi-directional connectivity
• Launch Workbench from CAD System
Bi-directional CAD connectivity Bi-directional import from DM
• Export parameters from CAD to Workbench • Attach to Active CAD Geometry
• Parameter change in CAD reflects in • Imports active CAD geometry in DM
Workbench and vice versa • Can attach only saved CAD sessions
• Direct connection in UG NX

Creating Parameters in Design Modeler
Procedure
• Any input prefixed with the “□” symbol can be parameterized
– Toggle “□” to “D” to parameterize that particular input
• Default Parameter Name Pattern
– Feature Name.Dimension Reference
• Parameter name can be changed A dimension reference (FD1) for
Extrude1 = Extrude1.FD1
Examples:
Expression can be created in the Multiple Design Points can be created using
Outline of All Parameters in WB different values of the parameterized
independent variable
