Combining Parameters in drawings

Combining Parameters in drawings

Combining Parameters in drawings

(OP)
Here is the problem, we create several sheets per drawing and each sheet can have a different revision the problem is when ever we create a new sheet we need to add the following to the revision boxes "&dwg_rev#" We create the parameter in the part/assembly to coralate to the new sheet and add the revision level there. What I would like to do is have it so that the "#" sign is replaced with the current sheet number automaticaly when a new sheet is created. Is there a way to do this?

We are using Wildfire 3.0

Thanks for the help

RE: Combining Parameters in drawings

Why have each sheet a different revision? they are all in a single file, so use the revision of the drawing file for all sheets.
We use PDMlink and in order to pull the revisionfrom the database, we had to change all Pro/E drawings to be 1 revision per file instead of sheets.

I do not make the rules, I just have to work with them! I had the same thoughts, but this does not answer my question.
