5.13.2. Aux. Parameters
This parameter fi le contains three parameters. Two frequently changed, user defi ned delays and the part scaling percentage.
Delay nr1: Select the delay from the drop down menu that you will most frequently adjust .
Delay nr2: Select a second delay from the drop down menu that you will adjust frequently.
Note: These two delays will then be displayed in the 1 Parameters and Parameter Quick View windows under the description which was assigned
to them for quick adjustment. These values are usually frequently altered by the user and therefore assigned.
Scale %: This parameter allows the part to be scaled larger or smaller than the size originally created. 100 percent is the actual size as created.
A scale factor of 200 doubles the size. A scale factor of 50 will reduce the size by half. If a part is scaled a message window will appear stating
that the scale is not at 100 percent before running the part.
