standard parameters 1

[kgrzebien]

Is there an easy way to edit the parameters in part and assembly mode, so that my company standard parameters open in all parts? If you open tools,parameters, show, info a text window called param.inf opens, where is this and is it editable? THANKS, kgrzebien

I was positive I read it here but searching back I can't find it..

While your assembly is open, go into Model Tree settings (In WF-->"Settings" right above the Model tree) and select "Column Display".

Under Type select Model Params, and enter/select all of the parameters you need to enter so they show up in the right column. Apply these changes and close the window. Expand out your model tree now and you can see all the parameters in a table format. Selecting on a part where a Parameter does not exist prompts you that it is making one, and lets you input the type and value.

Of course, the real way out of this is creating a Start Part with all of these parameters contained in it already. Designating them allows you to input the parameter while you create the parts.

Hope it helps

This is a good fix, but what I was looking for was having the system supplied parameters, (description, modeled_by, etc.) edited to show my specific parameters. (description1, description2, material1, material2, etc. I guess I could use start parts more but in version 20 and before I ran a txt file that would load the param's. I saved a copy of the param.inf file which I could edit but is it possible to get Pro to go to this file by default?

Start parts would be the way to go.. you could have a couple of different flavors.

There is another method, not exactly one step but some of it could be mapkeyed.

read a text file into the relation editor with the parameters you want to have and make them blanks say;

description1 = ""
description2 = ""
material1 = ""
material2 = ""

you have to have something there so it will allow you to close the editor without errors
Now cruise on over to your setup parameters editor.. they are there... but can't be editted because they are relation driven..so open the relation editor and erase the values you read in from the file... they will remain in the parameter table and can now be edited

You can load in some dummy values if you don't want them to be strings ..myval=5...same deal ...delete it in the relation editor and it still remains in the parameter table...cept now it's a real number and can be editted

you can mapkey the read file into rel editor.. and close ... they are now parameters... i don't think you can mapkey the highlight and delete seq.

You can use the model tree to display part and assy parameters. Go to Columns, Model Parameters then select the parameters you want to display in the tree.

Cadcambuy has is right and is getting a

. You should put this in a FAQ.
