Tip:
To search for an event or variable, you can use a text editor to search for it in the output file that is named in the title bar of the NX/Post Review Tool dialog box. The file is located in the same location as the post output, and has the name format <login_name><several digits>_review.out . To find a variable that corresponds to a parameter, a good tip is to type a unique value in the corresponding operation dialog box, for example 12345.6789, 9999.9999, or a few digits of pi (3.14159), or anything that you can search for without getting too many results. Search for it in the *_debug.outfile.
