Global Parameters - Not Category Specific?

I think I know the answer to this but I need to ask it anyhow to confirm. When you make a Global Parameter, you can't assign it to a Category per say, like you can a Project Parameter, and Global Parameters can only interact with higher level "Project" Information - correct? So I can't write a formula for a Global Parameter that looks into a specific family for that parameter and it's value, because the parameter really doesn't know where to look for it?

 

Thanks!

...but you can assign a Project Parameter to a Category and tie a Global Parameter to that Project Parameter.

Thanks Barth,

I think I see where you are going with this. There are some parameters that make sense to be a Project Parameter but there are still many parameters within our loadable families that make better sense to stay within those families. What I initially set out to do was to make a conditional formula at the project level that would read default values within certain loadable families/categories and then change those values on the fly if they met a new criteria at the project level. I'll find another way.

 

I like the ability to do formulas/calculations in global parameters, it's just too bad that they can only interact at the project level exclusively and that we can't pre-link loadable content parameters to them ahead of time. I wonder if having a global parameters file (kind of like a shared parameters file) might allow us at the family level to pre-plan for project interactivity. Maybe I'll drop in a suggestion at the new feature request page.

Thanks!

I'll vote for that.
