Shared Parameters

[TedJ1]

Hello,


Can anyone tell me if it is possible to share a parameter between several parts, preferably a parameter that is specified in a text file? For example, I have three parts whose dimensions refer back to a single variable. I would like to be able to change that variable and automatically update all three part files.


Thanks,


Ted

yes, this is possible in principle.

Ok. But how?

Use layouts.

The Wildfire Student Edition doesn't ship with layouts capability. Any other ideas?

You could use relations in a high-level assembly. I.E.:


<parameter_a>:<session_id_a> = <parameter_a>:<session_id_b>

Yep, that works.When I asked the question, itwasn'tclear to methatother parts of an assembly can be referenced insketches directly. Thanks.
