I have been learning a lot lately about creating formats and drawings, but there is one thing that I cannot figure out how to do.
I have created a parameter in the format ("REV") This parameter is referenced in three places on the form/drawing. When I create a drawing and reference the format, I am asked to input a value for parameter "REV". Fine, but I am asked for a value for each location where this parameter shows on the drawing (3 times). This creates a problem that each location of the "REV" parameter is independent. I could enter a value of 1.00 in one location, 2.00 in another location, etc. I would like each location of the parameter to display the same value. If I change one, I would like the others to change with it.
The other problem that I am having is that I would like to be able to change this value whenever I want on the drawing. But there is no parameter value that I am able change within the drawing.
Is it possible to do what I want to do? Maybe another way? I have been able to do this but only when I create the parameter within the drawing itself. I could save time if I was prompted for this value 1 time at the creation of the drawing...and still maintain the ability to edit that value in the future.
Thanks for the help.
