Example |
| The value, in U.S. dollars, of 'TotalCost' from Layout1. |
$$$Layout1.Cost.TotalCost; n0t$ |
$1,050* |
| The value, in euros, of 'TotalCost' from OneUp1. |
$OneUp1.Cost.TotalCost; n2$ EUR |
135.50 EUR |
| The value, in euros, of 'TotaRules' from Layout1. |
$Layout1.Cost.TotalRules; n2$ EUR |
334.50 EUR |
| Description of 'TotaRules' in OneUp1. |
$OneUp1.Cost.TotalRules.Descr$ |
Total length of rules in meters |
| Description of 'TotaRules' in Layout1. |
$Layout1.Cost.TotalRules.Descr$ |
Total length of rules in meters |
* If you want to display the character '$' in front
of a text, insert it two more times in front of the formula.
For example, if the formula for extracting the total cost is $OneUp1.Cost.TotalCost$,
write $$$OneUp1.Cost.TotalCost$. EngView will return
a number preceded by the $ sign — for example, $21.32.
Selection Parameters
A selection parameter consists of multiple values, called selection
type entries, combined in a holding entity called selection type.
When you use a selection parameter, you choose an entry from the selection
type, and this entry then becomes the actual value that the cost model
will use for calculations. That is why, when working with selection
parameters, there are a four properties that you can extract. See
the two tables and the picture that follow to learn which they are
and how you can extract them.
