Universal 1D Plot - Parameter# callouts missing in Documentation

Hi all: I am using the Universal 1D Plot to generate Decenter-X vs FICL on a Coordinate Break surface.

I checked the 2025 R2.01 documentation but couldn’t find any links on how to identify which Parameter# should I be using for Decenter X, Decenter Y, Tilt X, Tilt Y and Tilt Z.

Hi ​Asuku,

Parameters change based on the surface type. Look at the documentation for the surface type to see a table with parameter information.

For a Coordinate Break surface, parameters 1-5 are Decenter X, Decenter Y, Tilt About X, Tilt About Y, and Tilt About Z respectively. For an even asphere, parameters 1-5 correspond to aspheric coefficients.

If you select a cell in a different row, you can see the names change in the parameter columns.

I see it now. I wish the documentation maintained the consistency of hyperlinking to the Surface Parameters chapters. 
Thanks a lot for the clarification!
