About Working with Drawing Parameters
Using the Tools > Parameters menu you can access drawing parameter functionality for drawings and drawing formats. Drawing parameters work in the same way as do model parameters. A drawing parameter is nongraphical information you can add to a drawing. It is useful for keeping some additional information with a drawing that you may not want to include in a note. You can show the parameter value in a note by including [¶meter] in the note string.
When working with drawing parameters, keep in mind the following:
• The system associates parameters only with the object that is current at the time you add the parameter.
• You cannot use drawing parameters in relations.
• You can designate parameters for Pro/PDM.
• Drawing attributes defined in versions of Pro/ENGINEER prior to Release 15.0 convert to drawing parameters automatically. The system converts attribute names that begin with a number, but you cannot use them in notes.
