It seems like it should be an easy thing to do, but I'm having a little trouble doing it. What I'm looking for is the ability to use a parameter such as a hole diameter in a callout or note that is not automatically generated by Alibre. The sketch gives the hole diameter a name and it can be displayed on the sketch or in the equation editor. I want to be able to use this for whatever purpose I choose.
As an example on a machined part, the material will start out as a given size and grade of material. I would like to populate the title block or notes automatically without re-keying the information I've all ready built into the model.
Someone please help as I'm attempting to look at Alibre as our 3D CAD/CAM solution. Our products are mostly formed or stamped metal items with a lot of tooling support/maintenance. We have a couple of seats of Pro/E, but don't like the expense for most things we do.
