Access variable constraints of a 2D profile from a parametric solid using item typeshttps://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/f/microstation-forum/246011/access-variable-constraints-of-a-2d-profile-from-a-parametric-solid-using-item-typesHi all, I created a parametric solid from a 2D profile, what i would like to achieve is to access the distance constraint &quot;Dim&quot; I added to the 2D profile to make the parametric solid. I want to create an item type expression to access it, is this possibleen-USTelligent Community 12RE: Access variable constraints of a 2D profile from a parametric solid using item typeshttps://communities.bentley.com/thread/771864?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 30 Jun 2023 21:27:18 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:a09b1023-6540-46bb-a34e-3b6d83f0eb64David Trejo-Rodriguez<p>The following article may be helpful in using item types and parametric variables;</p> <p>&nbsp;<a href="https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/w/microstation__wiki/40265/how-to-create-a-parametric-cell-with-variations-and-associated-items-enabling-the-placed-variations-to-be-reported-upon">How to create a Parametric Cell with Variations and associated Items, enabling the placed Variations to be Reported upon.</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: Access variable constraints of a 2D profile from a parametric solid using item typeshttps://communities.bentley.com/thread/769807?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 15 Jun 2023 14:40:05 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:5c6bc4c4-8ce2-4e49-9d0f-43fea7cf1a9eRobert Jones<p>Hi Cris - You go the other way around. Create the item type first, then pick the item type from within the constraints dialog. <a href="https://docs.bentley.com/LiveContent/web/MicroStation%20Help-v23/en/GUID-7766EB31-61D7-449B-9DF9-1D799E2F148F.html">To Use Variables from Item Types (bentley.com)</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
