Updating Restricted Parameters Definition
Updating Restricted Parameters Definition
(OP)
Hello all-
I am working in Pro E 4.0 and am instituting a restricted parameter list into our use of Pro E. As I update the restricted values file, I obviously need to update existing parts with the new values as well. To do so, I am using Tools > Parameters and then Tools > Update Restriction Definition. The problem I am having is that "Update Restriction Definition" is grayed out in some parts. Can anyone help shed some light on why that is and how I might be able to fix it? I am especially baffled by this because in the parameters window I can go to Tools > Conflict Report and Pro E tells me that there is a conflict but I seem to be unable to fix it.
Thanks for your help!

RE: Updating Restricted Parameters Definition
Are you using folders and have set some to read-only?
We do not update existing parts unless they get modified. Whenever I revise the external file, I also update the drawing templates so all new drawings have the latest list. We do not use restricted paramaters in modeling. I send all of my WF users an email telling them that the list has been updated.

**Interesting development**
I reopened the model (just the one that I couldn't update) and the option is no longer grayed out. I then closed and erased not displayed and opened the whole assembly. I then opened the offending assembly (though it isn't just an assembly issue) and found the option was again grayed out. It seems that there is an issue with something being open that removes this option for me.
