Now in order to do that we're going to need to create a user parameter, and we're also going to need to use a function. Now Inventor has several functions that are available when we're working with parameters, and they're very useful and we'll go through what all of those are throughout this video. So let's go ahead and open our parameters box back up, and the first thing that we want to do is we want to create another user parameter, and this user parameter we're going to call MaxHoleSpacing. Now we do want it…
