Template/Seed Set Versioning

[kurthompson]

I have a template/seed set that I [and others] are maintaining for our office. Along with this customized template, I have approximately 100 customized titleblocks (including client logos, etc.). I would prefer not to add a parameter to the titleblock files as they are maintained separately from the template set.

Has anyone found a way to define a "Project Information" parameter? I would use maybe the "Project Status" parameter, but that is used in the titleblocks to identify the "Phase" of the project - i.e. "Design Development", "Construction Drawings", etc.

Thoughts? What are some strategies others are using to identify the version of their templates (would prefer to be able to query/define in Revit, not Windows Explorer/OS)?

Thanks,
Kurt

Great. This works well, now if there is a way to "lock" that parameter so that any user cannot modify it...I know, I ask a lot - but so do my Project Managers and IT guys.

thanks~kurt
