Same parameters on all sheets

How are people using the same data sheet to sheet?

And what I mean is, on my projects I use ~20 sheets on project (all in one DRW). It's a main assembly, some sub assemblies and all the components.

So to be most efficient, I only want to type in say, the project number once and have it on all sheets I create.

I assume most people put their parameters in their models. And that's fine, is that the only way? If I put the parameter in the main assembly will it carry over to all the other sheets in the DRW? I haven;t tried it, but maybe that's the answer.

thanks!

Your drawing can access data from any of the models referenced in the drawing.

Are you talking about the data entered in a format as a variable? This probably becomes specific to the active model in the drawing. If the variable does not exist, it is requested and that entry should propagate throughout all the sheets. There are also internal parameters that are Creo specific that can also be accessed.

Remember that parameters are the actual data in Creo files where relations are a means to assign and control parameters. You can create parameters without creating relations.

You can also use template drawings that already have the parameter created so that it i s always used when you start the drawing with that particular template. Again, this parameter shhould be accessible regardless of the active sheet.

The goal is to have the same 5 or so things that I currently type in every time I create a new sheet (in the same DRW) to automatically populate where as (one way or another) I only have to type them in once per project.

thanks!
