Specifies the parameters for shrinkage objects that are created or modified.
Name
Specifies the name of the part on which shrinkage is either being created or modified. This column is not editable.
Object Type
Specifies the type of the object. The possible values for this column are Plate Part, Profile Part, Member Part, Assembly, and Block. This column is not editable.
Status
Indicates if a shrinkage object is being created or modified. The possible values for this column are Create or Modify. This column is not editable.
Mode
Indicates the mode of the shrinkage object. The possible values are Assembly, Part-Assembly Based, and Part-Private.
Factor Rule
Specifies the shrinkage rule.
Shrinkage Type
Indicates the shrinkage type of the shrinkage object. Possible values are By Axis, By Edge, and By Vector. For plate parts, only the By Axis and By Vector type of shrinkage can be placed using this command. If a rule proposes Scaling by Edge for a particular plate part, then the entire row would be disabled and shrinkage is not created for that plate part. However, you can modify the Primary and Secondary values of the scaling by edge shrinkage on a plate part. This column is not editable. For assemblies, you can place only the By Axis and By Vector type of shrinkage.
Frame System
Specifies the frame system from which the primary and the secondary directions of the shrinkage are selected. This column is editable. Possible values are all of the frame systems that are in range of the plate part and those given by the catalog rule.
Primary
Specifies the primary direction of the shrinkage object. This column is editable.
Primary Value
Specifies the primary value of the shrinkage object. This column is editable.
-
The units displayed in the primary, secondary, and tertiary value fields are determined by the Slope setting on the Units of Measure tab of the Options dialog. Click Tools > Options to display this dialog.
-
The software updates the available primary, secondary, and tertiary values depending on the selected units.
Secondary
Specifies the secondary direction of the shrinkage object. This column is editable.
Secondary Value
Specifies the secondary value of the shrinkage object. This column is editable.
Tertiary Value
Specifies the tertiary value of the shrinkage object on an assembly. This column is editable for Shrinkage with Assembly Mode.
Action
Indicates whether the shrinkage properties are applied to the shrinkage object or not. The possible values in creation are Apply and Ignore. Possible values in modification are Apply, Ignore, and Delete. If this option is set to Apply, then the modified properties are applied to the shrinkage object. If it is set to Ignore, then the modified properties are not applied to the shrinkage object. If this option is set to Delete, the shrinkage object is deleted.
Filters
Defines a filter for the displayed rows. You can use these options to view all of the existing shrinkages under assemblies, regardless of their type. The options from left to right are:

Recompute
The list at the bottom of the dialog contains options that determine which shrinkage objects display on the dialog.
Show All Objects
Displays all the objects from the selected list.
Show Rule Objects
Displays all the objects for which the selected factor rule proposes eligible values.
