Including Parameter Information in Notes
When you set the Detail option yes_no_parameter_display to yes_no, parameters can have a yes or no value in drawing notes. When you set it to true_false (the default value), they can have a true or false value.
To specify parameter information in a note, use the following format:
• Dimensions—&d# or &ad#, where # is the dimension ID. Examples: &d12. &ad5.
• Reference dimensions—&rd#, where # is the dimension ID. Example: &rd2.
• Instance number—&p#, where # is the parameter ID. Example: &p8.
• User-defined parameters—&xxxx where xxxx is a symbol defined in a relation.
• Datum names—&dtm_name, where name is the name of a datum plane.
• Drawing labels—You can add the following drawing labels to a drawing:
◦ &todays_date—Adds the date as of the note’s creation in the form dd-mm-yy (for example, 2-Jan-92). If you include this symbol in a format table, the system evaluates it when it copies the format into the drawing.
◦ &model_name—Adds the model used for the drawing.
◦ &dwg_name—Adds the name of the drawing.
◦ &scale—Adds the scale of the drawing.
◦ &type—Adds the drawing model type.
◦ &format—Adds the format size.
◦ &linear_tol_0_0 through &linear_tol_0_000000—Adds the linear tolerance values for one to six decimal places.
◦ &angular_tol_0_0 through &angular_tol_0_000000—Adds the angular tolerance values for one to six decimal places.
◦ &sheet_number—Adds the sheet number for the sheet on which the note is located.
◦ &sheet_name—Adds the sheet name for the sheet on which the note is located.
◦ &total_sheets—Adds the total number of sheets for the drawing.
• Drawing parameters—¶meter:d, where parameter is the parameter name.
