Hello,
I am trying to create a mapkey that allows me to export a drawing as a PDF with the filename from a parameter I created. The parameter I created contains the part number and revision of the drawing being exported.
However, when I copy the 'FILENAME' parameter, the mapkey appears to only copy the 'FILENAME' parameter from the original session.
Is there any good way to copy a parameter from the active part while recording a mapkey?
Thank you!

I do not think this is possible with mapkey functionality alone. Anything in the UI that requires a user to generate a string in the UI dialogue is not going to update automatically from a mapkey. One way to deal with this is have the mapkey call an external script that would rename the PDF file once saved using Windows OS functionality.
When using save as on a file you will get this dialogue and the default value is the current file name. The mapkey will record the mouse actions and keyboard entry in the field but mapkeys will not create a "variable" that will read from a parameter AFAIK.
