Hi, Thanks for useful description on this topic. It made me solve a lasting problem. Good Job! In addition, I'd like to know whether I can use a parameter of 3d model in a sketch of a drawing view or not. if yes, how to do it? Thank you so much.

Hi, How to add custom parameter which will have incrementing number for copied parts. For an example my part 'tag id = 001'. If I copy and paste that part all the parameters should remain same while tag id should 002. Would this be possible?

Very interesting, this function doesnt seem to be well known among users. Do you know method to get iproperty, eq. Part Number to be saved as Parameter ?

[@3DSteve52]

To go from iProperty to Parameter, your best bet is iLogic. You could create a text parameter called "PartNo" and write an iLogic rule that contains the line PartNo = iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number"). This would set the PartNo text parameter's value to whatever was in the Part Number iProperty field. I hope this helps.

WHAT ABOUT A BEND PLATE?

Max Z, if you are using Sheet Metal, the flat pattern has special properties named and that would allow you to get the width and length of the flat pattern into description iProperty. Here is a quick video that shows how this is done.
