Make drawing parameters appear in a part.

Our drawing format is set to use the field &dwg_name which is the name of the file.


In our case this is set by ProductPoint.


Some of the other fields in the drawing format use parameters and data from the part model.


Is it possible to feed the drawing parameter back to the part?


In this case I want to feed the parameter dwg_name back to the part.

That's kind of hard because your Part is Referenced by the drawing so the Part referencing the Drawing parameter would be a circular reference.

You could just copy the Parameter from the Drawing and make one in the part or just have a &dwg_name parameter in your part as well. It wouldn't be parametric but it doesn't have to if you make sure the parameters are the same with a relation.

How and where do you write the relation to do this? Can you give a simple example please.
