Symbols reading parameters


A colleague is trying to build a custom symbol that contains text and three
parameters to be read from the part/assembly file. Has anyone done this and
if so can you provide some pointers on how to get the parameters to read?
Creating the symbol itself is no problem but placing the parameter name in
the desired box does not result in the value being reported back.

Any help is appreciated.

Its simple (if You know how...):

add a variable text (e.g. \param1\) and in the variable texts dialog, enter ¶m, as in a note.

Sometimes you have to regenerate the drawing after inserting the symbol to display the proper value.
