Set Parameter across multiple instances

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to create a parameter that when changed, affects all instances of the library part?(Without hardcoding in the script, which would not be parametric of course..)

I am writing a revision block that will be placed on all layouts, and I want Rev 1 date to read the same everywhere. (Any drawing revised on a given date is that Revision. So the sequence may be 1,3,4..)

Actually, maybe I'll keep it hardcoated in the script after all.

But this question still applies to another group of parts I want to do...

You could:
A) Make the change in a schedule of objects, grouped by type
B) Make the objects read an extrernal text file, and make the change in the text file
C) Make a field in the Project Info and read that

Conceptually, I like (C) personally, but I have not tried it myself yet.

you can set this type of behaviour in the "Details" section of the library part editor. (as per v6.5 and earlier I think) It will apply to all parameters but.........
