parametric text

[Anonymous]

In Sketch mode, how can I apply a parameter to text.

I have a user defined parameter called layerht. When I change the value, my solid bodies will update but the text will not. i used the layerht parameter in defining the size of my text but it still does not auto update.

I tried it and it looks like the text tool is loosing the link to the parameter. This could be checked by just finishing a text (with a parameter), close it and edit it again. Gone is the user parameter. I wasn't able to add a dimension to the construction lines either. But... and not it gets dirty ... and I'm not sure how well it work on a long term... You could just draw a rectangle around the text, make it a construction line, coincident constrain the upper and lower construction lines of the text box and the newly drawn rectangle and add a dimension to the left or right line of the new rectangle... and everything scales. Very confusing, very ... what's the favorite term in this community PITA

 I summarized that in this screencast:
