Good day,

Anyone know if there is a way to create a "shortcut" to edit the varied items of a flexbile part?

Here is my problem.

I have several times the same hinge (which is a 3-part assy) in an assembly but each hinge is at different angle. So I made the hinge flexible so I can adjust them separately to my needs. This works well.

However it takes time to redefine the angle of all of them (Edit Definition->Flexibility->Varied Items->Parameters) so I was wondering if there was a shorter path to edit the angle of the hinges.

I tried to use 3D note with no success. I also tried to get the parameter to appear in the tree model like you can do with the part placements...still no success.

Anyone knows if what I am looking for is doable?

Thanks!
