Hi,

I am working on a new drawing format and trying to sort out an issue with my parameters.

In this new format, I avoid using parameters placed in tables. I would not want the user to be able to modify the table or its contents when working on the drawing. So I sketched all of the areas, in both title and revision blocks.

So the issue I am having is that the parameters do not get updated once the drawing is being created. So far, only some of the "system parameters" like &scale and &total_sheets filled in right if the way, but all others only work if placed in a table.

Is there a way to work around this?
