Sharing parameters

[Anonymous]

It would be great to share parameters between parts, much you can in Inventor.

Just to clarify... Assume I have Part A and Part B.  From Part A, I'd like to be able to link to Part B's parameter set.

Hi Justin,

You can currently use the same parameter to drive multiple components within a single design.  For example, you could create a single design with a gear component and a shaft component, and you could reference one "SHAFT_DIA" parameter to control the diameter of the shaft as well as the diameter of the mating hole in the center of the gear.

Early next year, we plan to add the ability to associatively insert external designs - you'll be able to insert a one design into another, and the parent design can update if the inserted design is changed.  When this is possible, we'd like to allow parameter sharing.

Thanks,

Charles

Justin,

What Charles stated is true you can share parameters in model that contains multiple components.  As far as inventor goes you have to use the iLogic functionality to have part parameters equal each other.  At some point we will all similar functionality, however it is a large project.

So we're halfway through 2016, can we share parameters between different models yet? I really want to use Fusion 360 for a project but i'll have to use another package if i can't link parameters between separate models.

@cameronangus94,

While working is being done to support sharing parameters in our architecture, the functionality is a ways out.  I have prioritized the ability to reference driven dimension and other parametric compute work in our backlog first.  Once completed we will work on a solution to this workflow.

I am really looking forward to this!!

This is still not implemented in 2023.

Is there an update on what you have planned for this feature?

Hi,

just take a look at this Tutorial by @jhackney1972

Can you specify in detail what you are referring to with "This" ?

"Sharing" parameters can be done with functionality in Fusion 360 as you can derive parameters from one component into another.

However, what many users are asking (not knowing what exactly they are asking for)  for is a function set called Configurations. That does not exist in Fusion 360 yet, but the developers are working on it and we might see first public releases by the end of this year.

Thank you!
The tutorial linked provides an adequate work-around for my workflow.
