Is there anyway to derive a text parameter? It's nice that 2011 gives you the ability to create text parameters but why don't they allow you to derive it to another part? What about deriving iProperties?
we've been asking for this for years and years.
but the answer to your question is no, this STILL isn't possible.
And if I'm not mistaken the text parameter in 2011 is only for use with iLogic.
wow that sucks, i had big plans for that!!!

Two years later... is there any way to do this yet? I still can't export my text parameters, but is there any way to do this with ilogic?
Yes!
sText = Parameter("PartToGetTextFrom.ipt", "ParameterName")
Thank you!
I still wish we could link iProperties directly though...
The case I am using this for is to pass the Revision number from the parent part to a derived part automatically. I suppose if changes were made to the derived part only, I would not want the two properties directly linked though.
Finally in Inventor 2024 you can Export, Derive and Link Text Parameters!
They need 24 versions/years to solve clean this workflow...
Well done Autodesk!
