Program source parameter

I'm trying to change the title block in the drawings from the old engineers name to mine. This is driven by a parameter. When I change the parameter it gets changed back to the old engineers name though(i'm guessing when it gets regenerated).

I looked at the parameter and under the source column it says "program". I'm having trouble figuring out where this parameter is set.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have seen files where there is a routine that is activated when you regen. Normally it is used for configurable objects where user input dictates the file configuration. I haven't looked into it much further than that. It has to do with Pro|Program.

To add the engineer's name in such a routine is really kind of dumb. Sometimes people have too much freedom in doing things that are simply not sustainable by the average user.
