      Hi, I used the Aecosim base plate PAZ cell to create a stiffener plate, changed the part and family etc. and added an area and volume variable to it but when i schedule out of data group explorer the values for the area and volume are scaled by 1000…

      Dear Steve, I am glad to hear from you. Actually I was expecting to hear from you. In the past when I setup the PAZ files, I don't remember if I had to point ATFDIR_CELL for parametric cells to work. Seems like I might have forgotten since its…

      I tried everything suggested so far. But still no success. As I experimented with other PCS cells, they work even if we don't have any variable defined in the catalog editor. But with this problem paz file, it seems BA rejects the parametric changes.…

      Make sure the last column in the Catalog Editor is filled in wth the exact syntax of the respective PCS parameter names.

      Does anyone know how I edit the 2D component (Drawing Symbol) of the doors. In the first instance I'd simply like to change the linestyle to a dash for the door and swing. I'd expected this could be acheived by changing one of the following family…

      Rabi... in the DG Catalog Editor, make sure you fill in the Parametric Name column with the exact property names you created in PCS. That should "connect" the PCS properties to the resulting parametric cell placed in the DGN file.

      Steve Cocchi

      Exactly. Attach a part & family attribute to the applicable 2D symbol(s) within PCS. That way they'll inherit those attributes when placed in Architecture. Assuming the same families and parts are available, of course. :)

      Hmmm.... One more thing. Try setting default catalog values to match those in PCS.

      Rabi: check the documentation in Bentley Architecture and look for "Establish Datagroup Systms Catalogs - Tutorial" Basically, you need to know what Catalog Type your PAZ file is (door, window, or a custom made one), and add a Catalog…

      Yes, I'd add *everything* in before doing anything else. If that doesn't work, then more investigation would be needed.
