Define Constants

The Constants task provides the ability to create named values which do not change, or change infrequently, such as mathematical or engineering constants.

The Constants list can be be filtered by using the filter at the top of the list.

Please see the topic How To Use Filters for more advanced filtering information.

To Create a Constant

  1. Click the "Add" button on the command bar.
  2. Type a name for the constant.
  3. Press Enter or Return to finish.

To Edit a Constant

  1. Double click the "Value" column in the constants list on the constant you want to edit.
  2. Type a new value for the constant.
  3. Press Enter or Return to finish.

To Rename a Constant

  1. Select the constant to rename in the constant list.
  2. Click the "Rename" button on the command bar.
  3. Type a new name for the constant.
  4. Press Enter or Return to finish.

Renaming a constant will scan all rules and replace any occurrence of the old name with the new name.

If DriveWorks detects that this could cause a delay, then the following message will be displayed.

To Delete a Constant
