Can I add Text in sketch using the Parameters

I have 1 3DPart where I have "Oder No" Parameter. This parameter is multi value. Values of the Parameter is 123, 456, 789. I want when I select the parameters value 123 one text will be added to sketch with value "123" or if i change it to 456 it should change in the sketch to 456.

Is it Possible if yes how can we do this. I am trying to do this in 3DExperience 2020x platform.

Accepted answer

I haven't done this myself, but here's the approach I would use:

1. Make three Pads based on the three individual sketches. A sketch for each order number. Each sketch having the text required for that particular order. Of the three Pads, one will always be activated (True), and the other two will be deactivated (False).

2. Set up a Parameter, such that one of the options can be chosen (such as "456"), and use IF/THEN to make the 456 pad active, and the 123 and 789 pads not active.

3. Save the file as a template that you could use to start other part files from.

Like I said, I haven't tried this myself and I don't have a working example to provide as a reference. But, if you're familiar with CATIA Knowledgeware, you should be able to figure this out.

It is possible if you have CATIA V6. V5 does not have a sketch text capability.
