Select the Modify button (or Alt+M) to modify the current parameter.

Change the Parameter Name to Length.

Change the Parameter Equation value to 12, for a 12" long part.

Select OK to close the Modify dialog box and accept the changes.

Select OK to close the Equation Editor dialog box and return to the dimension box.

HINT: It is important that the current parameter is highlighted when exiting the Equation Editor dialog window! If any other parameter is highlighted, the value of that parameter will be replaced as the value of the current parameter. This is a feature that allows a value of a parameter to be specified by selecting another parameter from the Equation Editor dialog window.

Enter the Equation Editor via the icon or Ctrl+E when making changes to parameters, and avoid making changes to other parameters when using the Equation Editor to specify the value of a particular parameter during dimensioning.
