Is there a good reference (website, pdf, ect.) that shows all the possible options available to add/edit in your config file? It would be nice if it also explained what each option did.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone have a list of commonly used parameters in drawing formats?
&todays_date<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" />
Adds the date as of the note's creation in the form dd-mm-yy
(for example, 2-Jan-92). When you add this symbol to a drawing as a note,
the system substitutes it by the date of its creation. You can edit it later
as any other nonparametric note, using Text Line or Full Note. If you
include this symbol in a format table, it evaluates it when it copies the
format into the drawing.

&model_name
Adds the model used for the drawing.

&dwg_name
Adds the name of the drawing.

&scale
Adds the scale of the drawing.

&type
Adds the drawing model type.

&format
Adds the format size.

&current_sheet
Adds the sheet number for the sheet on which the note is
located.

&total_sheets
Adds the total number of sheets for the drawing.

&linear_tol_0_0 through &linear_tol_0_000000
Adds the linear tolerance values for one to six decimal places (see Dimensional Tolerances on page 6 - 49).

&angular_tol_0_0 through &angular_tol_0_000000
Adds the angular tolerance
values for one to six decimal places (see Dimensional Tolerances on page 6 - 49).
