Layouts - Parameter Inheritence Question!

There is one thing that I hate about layouts... it is the way in which the parameters are inherited, but I think there is a way to get over it... just that i do not know !!


The inheritance in layouts are one way... If i want to change a dimension, I have to do it in the layout... I cannot edit it in the skeleton... Pro/E gets back saying "dimension governed by relation <model dim> = <layout param>" !!


The point is I am trying to edit that layout param itself, and it is difficult to fine tune something on a layout, come back, regen and take a look... If anybody has any ideas on this please reply, PM me, email me, call me, fax me... anything... just let me know !!


I am open to ideas, as long as I can edit my dimensions from the skeleton and the layout... I can try any of your ideas if you think its worth YOUR time. Also, I know that I can use pro/program to "INPUT" those dimensions, and then users can change it... but then, how do I get them to be reflected on teh layout so that I can decide the other dimensions ??


Thanks a lot!
