Make parameter read part dimensions

[wildmodeler]

Ok here goes. I have a parameter in all my parts "SIZE" for the BOM. It should show the height width & length of the part.
Can I write a relation to have creo do this automatically and also have the format look like this:
"123.00 X 456.00 X 789.00" I want the x's in between.
Possible? If so how?
Thanks in advance.

If they are standard parts , Yes you can.

So what do I mean by standard, I have used rectangle start blocks for some of my tool designs these start blocks had what your looking for. I do not have access to the start blocks now but if you believe this is a match for what you are looking for I can look them up.
