Sheet Label Problem

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

is there a way to edit a label in a sheet family that when edited it changes on all the sheets? I'm using the "drawn by" and "Checked by" labels and noticed they don't change on all the sheets when you input data, yet a label like the "sheet name" seems to change across all the sheets if edited.

Are you talking about editing the titleblock family or editing the information in project?

You are describing the difference between an Instance Parameter and a Type Parameter.

Yeah, @barthbradley I couldn't think of the names for the life of me. Can you make a label a type Parameter?

[barthbradley]

A label is reporting the value of a particular Parameter. A Parameter can be Instance or Type.

Hello

1. Create a Generic Annotation, with required parameters

2. nest / insert it in the Sheet file ( create a similar parameter in the sheet family and map those with generic annotation )

make sure its instance parameter, and correct units like " Text for Text" " integer for single digit number " " Area for area etc "

3. load that sheet in the project, and now you can edit those parameters in the project.

sample uploaded here.
