System & Model Parameters

How can I effectively link model parameters to my system parameters on templates/formats that I create? I need the model parameters to transfer to my drawing template on my BOM and Title Block, and I cannot figure out how to successfully link the two so that whenever I do need to create a drawing and I insert a part onto that template, all the information is there.

Hi Kenan,

I will give you a exemple how to do it with a parameter created by you, but remember that Creo or pro/e has some internal parameters that you can use.

1º Create a parameter on your part named "123" and give him a value number or string etc.

2º In your drawing template create a note with this &123 .

The "&" symbol is to call a part parameter.

If you have more doubts just ask.

Hugo,

Thank you! It worked, and makes perfect sense. I have one more question. How can I create a standard parameter list so that each time I create a part, that same list comes up? As of now, every time I design a part, the parameter list resets. I don't want to be wasting my time every time I design a part just in rewriting the parameters. Any help would be fantastic!

Kenan,

You can create a part template with all parameters that you want. Everytime you start a new part you choose from your template. You can create parameters, planes, coordinate systems...all that you want. Since you are starting a new part those parameters are empty but they are already there.

I hope this answer your question or i am not understanding your issue now.

There is some information in the help files, and there is a drop-down in the lower right corner of the Parameters window that you can switch to show reported and alternate mass property parameters
