I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.0.0

In older versions we could set the active model in a multi model drawing and then select a symbol that was all ready placed on the drawing. It would open and close using the active model information to file in custom symbol parameters. This functionality appears to have been lost.

    I have confirmed this behavior. You need to open a ticket with PTC so that they can file a SPR (bug report) for this issue and get it fixed.

    In the meantime, you can manually change the session ID in the symbol.

     

    IE: 

    &PTC_MASTER_MATERIAL

    becomes

    &PTC_MASTER_MATERIAL:2

     

    where 2 is the session ID for the part in question. Session IDs can be turned on as a column in the assembly or they can be imported as a text file like discussed in this thread:
