How to include parameter in the 3D NOTE (WF5)?

I have a model with saved analysis feature called VOLUME.
From that, I have created a Parameter and Relation to calculate another parameter called compression_ratio.

I'd like to see at a glance the updated value of the compression_ratio as I change my design.
For that, I'm trying to include that parameter in a 3D NOTE (Insert->Annotation->Notes) that just sits on the screen so I can read it instantly upon Regeneration.

I tried to type something like this:

Compression Ratio: &mdl.param.name:compression_ratio

that didn't work. What would a correct syntax be to do that? Thanks!!!

Have you tried &compression_ratio ?

Yes, that was my first guess but no-go.
I remember years ago someone showed me how to do just that (and more), but for the life of me I can't remember ....
 
Not sure exactly how you are doing the note, but it works just fine using the &parameter_name in the note for both a 3D Note as well as an Annotation feature.
