    We are making a product with approximately 20 mating parts. The
    length, height and width of the product changes project to project. We
    are also have solidworks which we use for other uses. We are stuck in
    determining the most efficient way to turn out packages for our
    factory to product from but have the following questions.

    Here it is! We have all the mating parts for each product on one page.
    Each mating part can vary depending on length, width and height of the
    project. Every dimension that varies is attributed. Most of the
    attribues are repetitive and we want to eliminate human error and
    having to enter 20 to 30 attributes. Can we have a spot to enter the
    value for x, y and z and allow this to automatically fill in all of
    the attributes that are x,y or z. i don't know if this is confusing.
    Please help or e-mail me if you do not understand.

    HiHo;
    You might make a templet file for the blocks in the drawing, then using
    ATTEXT extract
    the location and attributes to a CDF file. This is a text file and can be
    changed very easily
    for new attributes. Finally using a SCRIPT file insert the appropriate
    block back into a
    drawing with the new attributes.
