Highlight fields in the Expressions dialog.
Highlight fields in the Expressions dialog.
(OP)
I have a question regarding the “Expressions” interface window.
Is it possible to have certain text fields highlighted, for easier/quicker identification? (For example could the "length" and "engage_min" fields be highlighted.)
If so, could someone please explain the process or attach a link to the appropriate help article?
Thank you, in advance.

RE: Highlight fields in the Expressions dialog.
Would altering the text font be an option?
Maybe make the text font bold for an individual field.
Thank you.

Might it be such that you very frequently open , change and save as into a new variant ?
If so, I would suggest that you make it into a "reusable component", where you can define the menu yourself, - present only the expressions you want to show and not the other ones.
there are several threads about reusable components here.
here's one :

RE: Highlight fields in the Expressions dialog.
Thank you for your suggestion.
You are correct, in that I often open, alter, and save a variant of the file. The reason I am asking is to create an interface that is easier to navigate for those I work with, who are reluctant to use an expression driven model.
They would prefer to place a c'bore in a plate, then add a thread feature, to the next plate, and then assembly in a dumb solid of a screw the appropriate length. I use an altered moldwizard shcs, and edit the driving expressions. I was hoping to make the expressions dialog less intimidating, there by easier to use.
