Solid tools parameters and report in drawing

Hi all.

I mostly use solid tools for programming. I have some parameters defined in my tools such as the tool supplier and the tool reference. I would like to display those parameters in the drawings I give to the workshop.

I already have models that work well with default tool's parameters (such as cutter_diam, num_of_teeth, etc...) but it looks like when I try to had my custom parameters it doesn't work !

Here's the syntax of what I added in the cell where I want to add the suppliers ref.

Of course I have the parameter defined in the tool

Do you have any solution ? Thanks

Raphael,

Sorry extremely busy right now to answer you. There must be a way to do what you are trying.There used to be a tutorial on reports and report parameters for that sort of thing but I don't have time to look right now. when I get a few minute I will look to see if I have it that might help you.

Thanks Steve for your consideration.

I started looking for UDP (User Defined Parameters) like in this post (UDP files for custom tool parameters - Solid Tool) but I can't get it to work.

A little progress even if I don't know yet if it's in the right direction. I managed to get the UDP tab in the tool window.

It's empty so I suppose there must be a mistake in the XML file somewhere !

I'm not sure this is the right thing to do as the value of my parameter named 'Fournisseur' is defined in the tool file, I don't need to change it while programing.
