Hi Everyone,<br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am a relatively new user of Pro/E, and I have a question about tables that i am hoping you wonderful people can answer for me!

My situation...

I have a drawing with 2 sheets, that both have the same format, and have the same table layout on them.

My question...

Is there a way to make it so that if someone was to change, for example, the title field in the table on the first sheet (via double clicking the cell and editing the text etc), that Pro/E would automagically place the same info into the same cell, on the second sheet?

Additionally would it also be possible for it to be done regardless of what sheet you edit, that it would always update the same info on the other sheets?

I have tried searching for an answer but couldnt find anything specific.

Thanks

Texas
 
You could create a Title drawing parameter. To create the parameter look under Tools>Parameters menu. In the table cells on each of the sheets type &TITLE:D. When you double click on the cell a dialog should open asking you to enter a value for the title. You can also change it by using Tools>Parameters menu.
 
creat parameters in your part. edit your format.frm to creat parameter driven notes. when you add the part as ref. model the part parameters will be automaticallly read.


example:


parameters in part: description, size, material.


notes in the format.frm: &description, &size, &material


when you have multiple refmodels in the drawing, first model added to the drawing will be considered. If you would like to show up params of another model replace the format, by setting the required ref model as set current.
 
Thanks guys for your help.

I actually figured it out myself before you posted your replies.
But thanks anyway!

I just created a custom parameter such as DRW_DATE in tools>parameters.

Then put &DRW_DATE in the table cell on both sheets.

Then double clicking on that particular table cell on either sheet, it would bring up a dialog box at the bottom. Entering the required info into the dialog box would upated both sheets tables with that information.

(Im probably preaching to the choir here, but just incase another noob like me finds this forum, thought i would post my solution).

Thanks again
