Is it possible to link parameters with the same name?

[SB_10814631]

Not sure if this is possible or not....

I would like import parameters from one system and automatically connect them to parameters of the same name within CREO.  

My goal is to create a template part with parameters /relations stored in the model.  I would then like to push parameter values from another system into the model and get the model to react to the changes.

Just curious if anyone has done this and if so, which API's did you use?

Thanks

Explore the External Analysis and Analysis Feature

You can read parameters from an external file (xml, csv, or txt in form param=value).

Create Analysis Feature with parameters. Then you can link parameters from feature using relations to other parameters or dims in the model.

You can check this stone age guide of controlling parameters from excel. I am sure there are newer sources. Least painfull way I think is to use relations for every dimension you make. And then you just use simple macro for import/export.

You probably know this part but just for info-- create a relation

and when putting value in dimension(when extruding for example) just write A and the dimensions will be dynamic.

So your macro will be just importing .txt file from your other software with relations(depth,diameter etc..) like this
