Creating Drawing Templates and Start Parts
Creating Drawing Templates and Start Parts
(OP)
Hello, I am a pretty experienced Pro-E user, but I have just moved to a new job in which I am the first mechanical engineer at the company, let alone the first Pro-E user. I want to get some part, assembly, and drawing templates set up and I am having some trouble.
For one thing, when I am setting up my drawing template, I am trying to get my user-defined parameters from my part templates to appear in the drawings. In my part templates, I have created several of the standard parameters (DESC, DESC2, DRAWN_BY, REV, etc...). In my drawing template, I have attempted to reference these using what I thought was the standard practice (&<parameter name>) However, when I create a part and the corresponding drawing using these templates, none of the "&<parameter name>" fields will fill in. What am I doing wrong?
As I said, I'm pretty new to the admin and setup side of Pro/E, so expect similar questions coming from my direction in the future. Thanks for the help!

A drawing template is primarily used to layout the views, and the format is the drawing border (which allows the parameters to be setup correctly).

.xx = &linear_tol_0_00
.xxx = &linear_tol_0_000
.xxxx = &linear_tol_0_0000
&model_name
&scale
These have all worked as expected. However, and user defined parameters that I have entered within the title block will simple not appear. Also, the &mat material command has not produced anything either.
