In-Depth Information
included in your titleblock so that the value can be changed in one location
and globally updated to all sheets.
One example is for total sheet count. Including this information on a sheet
as an editable parameter would require creating a shared parameter. A label
of this parameter could then be placed within the titleblock family. The
shared parameter could then be added as a project parameter applied to the
Project Information category, as shown in
Figure 6.24
.

Project parameter for sheet total
Notice that the parameter is an instance parameter. You cannot create type
parameters for the Project Information, Sheet, or View categories. However,
since there is only one instance of Project Information in a project,
essentially those instance parameters behave like type parameters. For
example, say you create an instance project parameter called Building No.
andapplyittoProjectInformation.Eventhoughitisaninstanceparameter,
it is global for the project because there is only one instance of it. Instance
parameters for views and sheets behave like normal instance parameters.
When the project information is edited, the value will be updated on every
sheet in the project.
Figure 6.25
shows this example on a titleblock in a
sample project.
