Change Values

There are two ways of manipulating a free object’s value:

  • Change the value of the object by entering its name and the new value in the Input Bar.

If you want to change the value of an existing number a = 3, type a = 5 in the Input Bar and press Enter.

  • Edit the algebraic representation: Activate Mode move.svg Move Tool and double click on the object in the Menu view algebra.svg Algebra View. This opens a text box where you can edit the object’s value. Press Enter to apply your changes.

While free objects’ values can be changed directly, the values of dependent objects can only be influenced by changing their parent objects or by redefining the dependent object.
