Drawing parameters

[John.Pryal]

Hi all,

does anyone know if parameters created at drawing level, can be used in relations. With my drawing open i can access the relations functionality, but i fail to see how to add any of the parameters created in the drawing. I want to automate the way information appears in a drawing format on this drawing. By entering a value for just one of my drawing parameters, i could have the values of other table cells appear automatically. I was going to write some simple relations to achieve this, but it does not appear so straight forward. Is this even the correct approach?

Regards

John

As far as I know, it is not possible to add relations at drawing level. You can add a drawing programm but this is more to automate the display of views, dimensions notes depending on model dimensions and the functionality is not very transparant for other users. I actually mostly use modelparameters to display modelinformation on the drawings. You can than easily add the relations at model level.

Thank you for the info Patrick, i was afraid somebody was going to say that. Well, back to the drawing board as they say.
