GO2cam implements parametric design principles in the creation process. As a geometrical element is created, the history of creation is kept in a database. This methodology makes it possible for the selected element to have a link to all construction previously made.

Parameterizing is a powerful functionality of GO2cam, you can find more information about it by clicking here!

The parametric relationships between the elements in 2D geometry is defined by a series of points that can be manipulated to modify the entity as shown below:

Link [Blue]	Linked to another radius and will reflect any changes carried out on the original. This link can be broken by clicking on the lock icon upon selecting it.
Locked Point [Red]	The initial point through which all others are linked. Displacing this point will move the whole structure.
Selected [Purple Outline]	The current point that is selected.
Free Point [Green]	Can be moved freely without affecting the other points.
