This task deletes a parameter. If you are working with regular expressions or wildcards, you can also delete multiple parameters.
The cross-task settings can be found in the chapter General task settings.
Model filter
This task can revise the following models: Parts, Assemblies and Drawings
The task-specific settings are:
1.Search in
Select whether the entry in parameter name or value (2) is compared with the parameter name or the parameter value.
2.Search
Enter the name or value of the parameter to be deleted. You can use RegEx. The icon 
opens the RegEx Editor.
3.If model is Instance or Generic
–Delete from Generic: The parameter is deleted in the generic, so that it is deleted in all instances and in the family table.
–Delete only in Family Table: The parameter is deleted in the family table of the generic. The parameter reverts to the specification of the generic parameter.
Working with PDM parameters
Within a PDM system, the connection to the server must also be disconnected and reestablished when deleting a parameter. We recommend using the Start Mapkey task for this purpose. To delete Intralink or PDM parameters, the hidden configuration option allow_create_pdm_param = yes must be set.
Please note: Deleting PDM parameters can lead to inconsistent data. This can affect usage with or without a PDM system. |
Example:
–Mapkey: Disconnect server
–Delete parameter: PROI_*
–Mapkey: Connect server
Tip: You can use Variables. |
