Parameter Syntax - digging deeper

$
0
0

I suspect like many users, we have a Weight parameter set up to reference the mass properties.  I discovered a syntax issue & I want to dig a little deeper, just because... I found it by trying to copy-paste the parameter callout from the note editor in one drawing to another drawing of a different model.  The callout sytax was "&WEIGHT:5[.2] LB."

 

I understand that "&WEIGHT" calls the mass properties, "[.2]" controls the value to 2 decimal places, " LB." is descriptive text.

 

I realize, now, that the ":5" is system generated and refers to the model being referenced.

 

My questions is how do I confirm the model reference?  Is the a RMB menu or property box somewhere in the tree or user interface that will tell me the model reference number?

 

In the case of a mutli-model drawing, I want to control the model parameter references, for template set-up, design automation, etc. The reasons for understanding & controling this bit of syntax are many.  Thanks in advance for any help.
