The Dynamo Properties dialog box appears when a Dynamo is double-clicked or when the Dynamo is first copied into a new picture, and there are user prompts available for the Dynamo. This dialog box allows you to quickly modify the data source associated with the property, if necessary. The Dynamo Properties dialog box includes the Dynamo properties listed below:
|
Property |
Description |
|
Dynamo Name |
A read-only field listing the name of the Dynamo object. You cannot edit this field. |
|
Dynamo Description |
A description of the specific usage of the given Dynamo Instance. The maximum number of characters that you can enter in this description are recorded in the Max_Dynamo_Desc_Length field. The Dynamo Description can be different for each Dynamo Instance. For the Master Dynamo, the description is empty and read-only. |
|
Dynamo Property |
If the Dynamo contains animated properties, the Dynamo Properties dialog box displays the animated properties and lets you change their current setting. |
|
Current Setting |
Each property contains a Current Setting column. The Current Setting column contains the value or data source assigned to the Dynamo property. The first time you use the Dynamo, it displays the original values assigned to the properties when the Dynamo was created. If the current setting is a data source, you can select the Browse (...) button to launch the Expression Builder and select a new data source. You can also select the Quick Modify button to modify the data source value itself. |
You may later decide to change the user prompts that appear in the Dynamo Properties dialog box. You can do this by selecting the Dynamo object (in a picture or Dynamo Set), and clicking the Build Dynamo button from the Dynamo toolbar (Classic view) or by selecting Build Dynamo from the Dynamo list, in the Dynamo group, on the Tools tab (Ribbon view). When the Dynamo has animated properties, the Build Dynamo with User Prompts dialog box appears. The User Prompts appear in brackets, { }. To change the User Prompt, delete or modify the contents of the User Prompt field and click OK.
