Parameters visible on file open screen?

Is there a way to have a parameter displayed on the part list when
opening a part or assembly component. For example, we use part numbers
as file names. Once a project directory has a few dozen parts in it,
it becomes difficult to remember which parts are which. All parts have
a parameter for description which if it was available when browsing
for a part would solve the problem.

Thanks,

KK

 

I'm not sure if this is what you want, but it is possible to create a note,
with a paramtere in it. use &parameter, and it should display. I use this
for parts which I create to check the internal volume of a vessel. I put a
relation in that converts the mm3 to litres.

Hi KK,

I can think of one way to handle this, but this may not be the most
elegant one. If you open a part (or any other proe-file) through the
library-option (#open#library), you can display descriptions next to the
file-names in the open-dialog. So, you just have to store the parts
underneath your chosen library path and add a description to each part
in the *.mnu file (see the manual for further description about that or
ask again). But watch out, all the files that are not in that mnu-file
will *not* be displayed in the open-dialog. Those you have to open the
old way (browse), where the descriptions are not displayed.

HTH, Tom

 

You need Intralink to do this. Then the file/open command will display
intralink default table parameters.
