Link Geometry Text parameter to parameter from List Parameters

danijel.radenkovic — Mon, 18 Dec 2017 10:54:12 GMT

Hello to all,

I am not sure if there is a option to link Geometry text parameters to a parameters (user parameters or excel parameters) by using List Parameters option as it is possible in part/assembly modeling.

Here is the image. If someone have other opinion or if this is a topic for idea station, please give a comment.

Hi! Yes, you can also reference Model Parameter or User Parameter in Geometric Text just like regular Text. Simply click on the pencil button in the dialog, the Text Editor dialog will come up and you can enter Model Parameter or User Parameter.

Many thanks!

Hello,

Yes, but it gives me only a name of the parameter, not the value.

On the other side, if I create an sketch or draft view inside the drawing and I would like to link some dimension with excel spread sheet parameter, I am not able to import link to the excel file. Also, if I want to use model parameter on drawing sketch or draft view, I believe it's not possible.

Am I right?

Hi! I thought you were talking about Geometric Text in 2D Sketch in a part. Based on the images you attached, it is about Geometric Text in 2D Sketch in drawing. Then it is different. The drawing dimensions are not captured as parameters in the drawing environment. I am not aware of a way doing what you are asking. Maybe iLogic rule can help.

Many thanks!
