Sliders

A slider is attached to a math assignment. It is not a blank block on the Insert tab. Right-click a region whose expression is name := number unit, then choose Add slider… on the context menu.

Add a slider

1. Write a numeric assignment, for example w := 12 kN/m =.
2. Right-click the region frame (not deep inside the field if the browser menu appears).
3. Choose Add slider….
4. In Slider for w, set Minimum, Maximum, and Step.
5. Choose Apply.

Drag the value

The range control appears after the number. Dragging updates the assignment and re-evaluates the sheet (a short delay while you drag, then immediately when you release). Downstream names that use w update in evaluation order. For a set of named cases instead of a continuous range, use a dropdown list.

Edit or remove

Right-click again for Edit slider… or Remove slider. Editing opens the same dialog. Removing leaves the current number in the assignment.
