Hi all,

is it possible for 2 separate parts to share a parameter? That the value of the parameter could be changed in either part & would be updated in the other.

Working with Creo 2. I would want to achieve this using standard Creo functionality if possible.

Regards

John

I understand it is like sharing a value of same cell in other file in Excel where we have the option to give the path of the file and cell. I dont know it is possible or not, but I appreciate it's a nice idea. All the other options for sharing paramter like making common assembly or using internet explorer i guess you already know.

Yes it is possible using a feature called a notebook. When you start a new part notebook is on the the options. You create a parameter in the notebook and assign a value. You then have to declare the different parts to the notebook that you want to use the parameter. The parameters that you have setup in the notebook are then available in each of the parts that have been declared to the notebook. The value is then changed in the notebook and the changes are reflected in the parts. You may also have to use a relation to link dimensions etc to the parameter in the notebook.
