Reusable feature with restore reference behaviour

Reusable feature with restore reference behaviour

Reusable feature with restore reference behaviour

(OP)
Hello everyone!

Is it possible to define a reusable library object that would ask both for restore reference and input parameters? Or is this type of behaviour is only possible using UDF?

RE: Reusable feature with restore reference behaviour

(OP)
Perhaps I was not specific enough (was in a hurry).

When I define UDF it works pretty much like a deformable part - I can pick features, parameters, and external references.
Then when I place this UDF, parameters and external references are being asked.

Now look at the Reusable objects. As far as I know, Feature type supports external reference - but I could not make it ask for parameters when inserted. On the other hand, I believe it is possible to make other types ask for parameters when inserted - but not for external reference. So apparently, the capabilities of UDF's and reusable objects do not overlap fully. Did I get it right?
