Hi Paul,
Yes.
The method I used is to call up parameters in your title block for all the
things that you mentioed. In case you are not familiar with calling up
parameters in a drawing then the format is ¶metername. If you do not
have the parameters defined in you model or assembly then when you commence
making a drawing it asks for each value. However I don't like that method
so instead we have a our start parts with all the parameters specified with
a default value. This means a new drawing are auto-populated with these
defaults. We then change the parameter values in the part or assembly and
these update the drawing. Now for the best bit; each new sheet is also
auto-populated with the same parameters.
Works like magic
Hope this helps.
