Can I copy a lot of parameters from one part to another, easily

  1. Hi,
    I have a bunch of part files to which I'd like to add a many
    parameters. The parameters will later be used to fill in drawing
    header etc. The parts are 'old' so changing the template part
    won't help.

    If I'm correct I can only add parameters by pressing '+' in the
    parameter window in Wildfire so my ideas was to create a
    mapkey for one of the parameters, edit the mapkey in
    notepad (or something) to add the rest of the parameters
    by copy 'n paste and only change the name of the
    parameters.
    When I run the mapkey later it would add all parameters for
    me. Unfortunately it seems like ProE is using some code
    for the letters in the parameter names so it does not easily
    translate into clear text. Thank you ProE!

    There is also a way to export parameters as a file but I can't
    find a way to import them again.

    Maybe there is a chance to se 'new_parameter_ui' to 'no' and
    use a trail file and mapkeys to do this, but I haven't tried it yet.

    Do anyone have other ideas?

    Create a mapkey that creates all the parameters you want in a single
    button push, simple and easy!
