Question

how to display the value of a drawing property in a note

I want to call out in a note in the drawing automatically the value of the drawing property "projection_type".

How can I do this?

I tried with "&projection_type" but was not successful.

 

Thx,

Peter

Hi,

 

You can use the following syntax to display drawing parameters in notes:

 

&parameter:d

 

Here's a link to the PTC documentation.

Hello there,

 

Sorry but what you suggested doesn’t function.

 

I tried:

&parameter:projection_type

And

&projection_type:d

 

But none reflected my drawing property as first_angle as it is in the drawing properties.

 

So the solution seems not valid for me.

it could be that the syntax is still unclear to me but i cannot make more out of the documentation.

 

Best regards,

Peter Arras

I think there was a misunderstanding of what you were asking.

The projection_type setting is an option of the drawing, not one the general user sets (I've not ever done so), so it was assumed you were referring to a drawing parameter. The parameters are things you set yourself within the drawing, much like part parameters, which can be integer, real, string, or yes/no values.

To show a parameter in a note you do as previously suggested.

To use creo options in notes is not something I know how to do. I'm not sure it can be done. I don't think that kind of data can be accessed in that manner.
