Adding drawing user parameters to title block

jltw7PSW2 — Tue, 04 Jul 2023 05:28:39 GMT

Hi,

I am in the process of creating a new title block, so far the plan is to add custom iProperties to the drawing template so we can make a form to edit stuff like: Parts location on machine, which machine, material certificate and more "custom values" that varies from part to part.

But in this case I was hoping to add which machine the part belongs to as a dropdown in the from, I have managed this with a multi-value user parameter in the drawing template, however I cant figure out if it is possible to add this value to my title block?

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Well almost, I would like it to be a dropdown in the form to choose from, almost as if you do a custom iProperty with a "Yes or No" type data, it will then be a dropdown in the form, but I need custom values in the dropdown, not yes or no.

You have to do that with user params, you can't do a multivalue custom iprops, or you can do that with iLogic code (that change on the way your custom iprop)

Yes, I am aware that it needs to be done by user params, that is the title of my post.

My issue is I dont know how to display a user param in the title block

You have to do that, linking param and ipros, with iLogic

iProperties.Value("Custom", "MYCUSTOM")=MYPARAM

You will find atatched the file.

Here some info about iLogic
