How to omit "add param" menu when creating new drawings

How to omit "add param" menu when creating new drawings

How to omit "add param" menu when creating new drawings

(OP)
Hello ProE Gurus

We use proe2001, we have some standard drawing formats. In format tables we have "&text" values. When one needs to create a new drawing by using these formats "message input window" is opened automatically and asks for text value.
However for a while when I create a new drawing "add param" menu appears before "message input window". After I select the type of the input "message input window" appears and asks for the input. As I said I didnt have such a probllem about 3 months ago and my colleagues dont have such a problem -we use the same config.pro-. Besides I dont have the problem with some other formats (I found and download some formats from intranet; they have similar tables). When I use these new formats "message input window" opens automatically.
I searched web sites, forums etc. I couldnt find anything. Have you ever experienced such a problem? Do you have any suggestion?
Besides I saw many useful parameters for automatically populated title blocks. Is there any other useful parameters? Does anyone have such a list for these parameters? I would be grateful if you send?

Kind regards,
Murat TOKLU

RE: How to omit "add param" menu when creating new drawings

I posted a list of these parameters a while back which you can search for using the google search of Eng-Tips on the top right of this page. In terms of the non default &text params these should be set in the Part file used for the drawing. The Enter text will create drawing parameters &text:d which will not be linked to the part.

You can add these params from the Relations Window.
Param1 = "PARAM VALUE"

and those should auto fill when the drawing is created.
