Drawing table question

Drawing table question

Hello all, ever since the new text editor arrived in Creo 3 I have had a niggling problem. I cannot figure out how to edit the value of a parameter in a drawing table cell when more than 1 appear in that cell. If there is only 1 parameter per cell then its easy, select the cell, you see the parameter value highlight, right click & a menu appears, towards the bottom you will see 'edit value', job done. But, if you have 2 parameter values in a cell then you see different behaviour, click the cell & both values highlight as before, but when you right click, there is no 'edit value' option in the menu that appears. This is a pain in the backside for me, i control the value of quite a few parameters via a drawing table. I can do this for 99% of them, there are just a few that i cannot change because i cannot figure out how to edit them, I have to open the parts where these parameters live & edit the values there. Before Creo 3, I did not have this small but niggling problem.

Regards

John

The other option is to change the filter to "Individual Text" before picking the text.  (This is especially helpful with repeat region cells.)

Double clicking. One you select the table an the parameters highlight, double click the one you want to edit.

Thank you guys, both options work, but I prefer Toms. So for that reason I will mark your answer as correct. Thanks again, this has bugged me for ages. I am sure I have tried double clicking the value I want in the past but could not get it to work, the parameter name rather than its value would pop up instead. Either way, it is a little fiddly.

Fiddly is a good word for it. Sometimes it becomes an exercise in double clicking or un-selecting and re-selecting and trying again and then mouse location matters if you are between lines, just to make it a little more frustrating.

But I just hate changing the selection filter constantly back and forth so I deal with the double-clickza-palooza.

You make a very good point. Maybe with a little practice I will get used of the double-clickza-palooza, as you so elegantly put it.
