I do that all the time. I create one Part defining Equation Editor values and then generate many "derivative" Parts by changing those Equation Editor values and using the SaveAs command to save ther "modified Part" to a new Name. It is a PITA to learn all the "steps" required to make it work, but it is not really that hard.

Dear Lew, thanks for your feedback. Just to make sure make question is clearly understood, I would like to modify the part not through the GUI Equation Editor but with an "Alibre" python script. Is this what you do ? If so, how ? Can you please tell me where to find the info ? Regards.

Yes, I use Equation Editor values to set "key Features" in my Part. I use Alibre/WizoScript to change those values and perform a SaveAs. I am currently working on a Library of "37° Hydraulic Fittings" that require a lot more "manual intervention" to create those "values," but automating the process to the greatest degree possible does help.
