Parameter or Constraint value to Mtext field
Hello,
I want to display a value from a parameter thats linked to my constraints into a Mtext Field.
I have only found a workaround (link a field to a dimension that has the same value).
Does anybody know if this can be done?
With kind regards
Robert

Any thoughts? I am trying to do the same. Plus I am looking for an option to round the linked value up to next greater integer.0

Hi Robert,
You should be able to get to your parameters using _FIELDs.
1. Create a new _FIELD and browse for Extensions > Extension Properties.
2. Select your parametric block
3. From the Properties Category choose Parameters.
All the best,

Hey Billie, thanks for the reply.
I should have been more specific in my problem.
I'm looking to add a "Mechanical Parameter" to a field.
As far as I can tell i can't add Mechanical properties to a field sadly.
Bim gets more love then Mechanical sadly0 -
Hey Robert!
Take another look at the drop-down where you see the word "BIM" displayed. You should be able to select the "Parameters" category and find your parameters there. (As long as you have selected a block that has some parameters defined in it)
I think it should be there.0 -
Hey Billy,
The parameter is not in a block, its in the currently active DWG.
This type parameter is used to drive mechanical constraints or designtables

This is an issues I've brought up multiple times on the forum and in support requests.
You cant even get the material for the currently open DWG in mechanical Fields.
I urge you to add a feature request, if we have enough hopefully Mechanical will get some deserved love.0 -
Good to hear that i'm not the only one requesting that feature, I made a request for it some time ago.0
