drop down list of names

I have created a sticker to go onto a part.Is there any way of having a dropdown list so i can change the part No. on this part.A list which starts at Part-01 and goes to Part-35.I can then change the part number as required on this one sticker

If you want to change the text on the sketch (emboss) you need to create a text parameter and changed it to multi-value.

 

Enter you sketch and edit your text, inset user parameter you created.

 

Create a new form and add your parameter. When you run the form and select different text, the emboss will change.

 

Hope the image gets trought (it seems big)

go into your parameters at the top as I did and click on the small arrow next to Add Numeric, and you should have Add Text and Add True/False. Add a text parameter, then right click on the Equation cell of that parameter and choose Make Multi-Value.

I have used excel to create my quick consecutive list of numbers and then pasted it in the Multi-Value top field.

well done! You could however have this as an ilogic part. Mark the text parameter you just created as key, and save the file. Open an assembly and click on Place Ilogic Component, select your file and in the Options Window select your Part number. It will create a part next to your assembly (on disk) with the name used for your original part + _01 _02 etc.
