MEDUSA4’s parametric functionality lies at the very heart of its design automation capabilities. You can either create and control parametric 2D symbols, drawings or even 3D models interactively, or use MEDUSA4’s powerful programming tools to completely automate the process.

MEDUSA4’s familiar drafting tools allow you to easily create and dimension your geometry. Its parametric tool tray then provides access to all the additional functionality needed to parameterise your design. Use gridlines as a visual indicator of supported geometry, and a choice of static reference points to help set up your parameters.

Group lines delineate areas of geometry that will not be parameterised (non-dimensioned points inside a group box do not have to be fully constrained), and you can define how those parts behave. Set up in-sheet parametric tables or command texts to create your variables, then save your parametric symbol or model files for use by other designers, who can be prompted to select or enter particular variables.
