I've created an assembly that includes the same part multiple times. I want to have a part feature with one value for the first part, and the same feature at a different value for the second part. I've set up the relation for the first part (d428:124=PARAMETER), but it changes both parts to the parameter value. Can I create parameter driven relations to change the same feature on the part to different values? Thanks for any help!

Engtim, it sounds like you have a perfect use for a family table. Look into it in ProE help and you should find that it will do what you are asking for.
 
The alternative if Flexibility - also in the help files.
 
If the part needs to be manufactured to the different values, then use the family table. If the part adjusts to fit the different values, then use the flexibility. I use flexibility to get springs, orings etc to fit where they are used.
