Hi,

I am trying to create a Format that uses parameters to fill out the title block on our drawings. When I create a drawing, Pro prompts me for values for each parameter, but once I have entered the values, the parameters do not show up in my list of parameters for the drawing. Is there a way to get a drawing to inherit the parameters from its format?

    Michael,

    Are you asking how a drawing can inherit it's parameters from the model when using template/formats?

    Thanks, Dale

    Yes, I am trying to get my drawings to inherit the parameters from their respective formats. This way, I can use a format, and it will bring over parameters like title, revision, and drawing number, and then I will be able to edit them within the drawing if needed. Right now, the drawing prompts me to enter values when I bring the format in, and then it prompts me again each time I create a new sheet. When I create a new sheet, I'd also like it to autofill the same values that I have already specified.

    Thanks,

    -Mike

    The variables have to be placed in tables. You cannot simply place a note as the variable. Strange but true.
