Data Management in ProE

[S_ACOSTA]

Hey, perhaps you can help me.


I am trying to use this tip:
http://www.synthx.com/tom/sy_tip_0206.htm


But I get stuck because, the default parameter type is real, so if the parameter was not previously defined as a string (e.g. for a parameter like material or description) it does not work - it only allows numbers.


Is there any other way to get a similar result to the tip?


Basically I have a lot of legacy filesWITHOUT parameters like revision, part_number etc... and it would take too long to open every single one and define the parameters.

Use modelcheck. With Modelcheck you can add/change parameters/layers etc.to all parts and asm.

If you have Intralink you can also do it with Intralink

Thanks for the info.


Don't have intralink, never thought I would miss it.


I am having a go with modelcheck, trying to figure out how to only add/change the parameters if they are not already there.

The PTC help is only useful as a reference if you have already figured out how to do things, and just want a reference. When I tried talking to the re-seller all I got were suggestions to purchase training.

By far the best tutorial I have found is:

If you know of any resources please let me know.
