In VariXPASCAM you can declare certain variables as "private". This enhances the clear breakdown in the layout of parameters, particularly because big assemblies contain a vast number of dimensions which, however, usually don't have to be modified and thus don't have to be visible at the moment. These "private" dimensions are suppressed and aren't displayed in the PASCAM Variable management per default, however, they can be made visible again at a fingertip.

On top of that the user is able to control by this declaration, which dimensions are suitable for modifications and which are not. This facilitates distributed team work during the design process by clearing editable parameters for other team members.

The overall thickness, width and length in this assembly, are globally visible while the other dimensions are local and declared as "private".

Because these dimensions aren't visible if the assembly is used later as a sub-assembly, the dimensions can be un-suppressed by using the button "View".
