Can I use the change command to change the design parameters? It takes the last assigned parameters all the time.
For most of the design codes - yes. AISC 360-16 code has an ability to show the utilization ratios for all design parameter blocks in the GUI.

So, I understand that it can be taken in the output file but only the last Check code will be displayed in the member utilization screen. Right?
CHANGE command cannot be used to change the design parameters. You can create one design parameters block following by the CHECK CODE command. Then you can create another design parameters block and add another CHECK CODE command. In this way, you will see the design results of both design parameter blocks in the Output file.
