Export Parameter column in the Inventor parameter

Do you know what the Export Parameter column is used for when you open the Parameters window in Autodesk Inventor?

Before we check the fields next to width, length, and thickness, we’ll open the iProperties>Custom tab. We’ll see that it’s empty.

Now, we select the checkboxes for the mentioned fields and click Done

Let's look again at the iProperties > Custom tab. Width, length, and thickness appeared.

Inventor automatically adds them as custom properties, but how can we now use these fields? Let’s move to the Project tab and enter the following expression in the Stock Number field:
=<width> x <length> x <thickness>

While you’re still in the Stock Number field, press Enter, and the appearance of the field changes to:

If we change one of the parameters, the Stock Number field updates automatically

The Stock Number field can, for example, be used when creating drawings for marking views.
