Title Block Problems

[dsw98]

I'm trying to create my own parameter lable. When I do and then load it into the project, that parameter doesn't show up, but is there as a ? when I select the entire title block. I just want a lable that I can have there so I can manualy type in a number to refer to my overall area. Anybody have any ideas?

...Anybody have any ideas?...

With projects, sheet families and parameters there are three steps:

• Create the shared parameter
• In the sheet family, create the label using the shared parameter
• In the project, create a project parameter using the same shared parameter.

These steps close the loop, looks like you just need the last step. Assuming you did this with a shared parameter to begin with. Keep in mind the shared parameter step is only necessary for the first time you do this. Other sheets can reuse the shared parameter you already created.

Okay I've done everything and it still won't show up. When I'm creating my parameter does it matter what it's properties are. You have Name, Discipline, and Type. I just want it to be a number in the end. So should it be a number, interger, text, I'm lost here.

In mine, Name, Discipline & Type are all grayed out and unchangeable...I've attached a screen shot of what I see...maybe that will help.

Maybe you could post your titleblock along with what lable/parameter you're having trouble with and someone could take a look?

Do you want to type this in once and have it appear on all your sheets or type it in sheet by sheet?

That's exactly what I have and see. After I add my parameter it still won't show up in the project. Is there a step I'm missing. Does it matter where I create the parameter, whether I create it in the actual title block sheet or in the project?

[dsw98]

I would like to type it in once on one sheet, pretty much like the "Date"

Here is my title block. The Fruit Room is the Label that won't work for me.
