Linking parameter in catpart to catdrawing

[TheKyle9]

Does anyone know how to link a CATpart parameter (within a part) to a drawing. So if I update the CATpart parameter, the CATdrawing parameter will reflect the change?

What you see in the drawing is driven off a design table that I must update manually to match what is done is the part.

Thanks,
K

Publish the parameter in the Part. Next, in the drawing create a parameter of the same type (appears to be a string parameter in your screen grab). Right-click on the parameter and select "Edit formula". Click the parameter in the Part to create the link. You'll probably get the 'Keep link with selected object' message. Click Yes and it should show up under "External Parameters" in the drawing.
