drawing parameters for multiple models

Is there a way to have the model parameters for one model drive the drawing format on one sheet and the parameters for a different unrelated model drive the format on sheet 2? We have an assembly drawing for a vendor and we want to show a few reference dimensions for some of the components on subsequent sheets.
 
Just make the second model active then reload the drawing format on sheet two (page setup). Pro/E will automatically use what ever model is active when the format is added. Or you can figure out the session ID and edit the text everywhere there is a parameter and add a colon & session ID like this:

&parameter:ID
 
When you add a sheet to an existing drawing, Proe fills out the drawing parameters with the current active model/assembly. You can do this by right-clicking on the screen, and goto "Properties", then select "Set Model". If the model is not in the list, do the same thing, but select "Add model". Now when you insert a new sheet to the drawing, it will get the parameters from the new part.
