I am stumped about how to accomplish dynamic parameter file operations. Maybe it is not possible, but it would very helpful in global object usage. Issue described as follows:
I have a global object defined (a valve) that has all the features and functions I would like all 50-60 valves I will be encountering. The valve animations work, text replacement using the object parameter (#1, #2 etc). However, I am unable to get a Goto Display object INSIDE the global object to have a passable parameter file name. For example, This one Goto Display object would want to go to the display 'VLV' (which works) and pass along parameter file 'CH001A' (which exists).
This valve object was originally not a global, and the paramter files and subsequent pop-up screen worked flawlessly. When I 'encapsulate' the valve as a global object, the parameter file option does not appear to be 'chanegable'. So when I replicate it 50 times all valve will display the correct information, but all 50 will popup the valve screen for CH001A. If I attampt any /LS:0 #1/ or other dynamic settings for the global valve object, it does not resolve during runtime.
Is this just not possible, or am I missing a key point in how to set it up.
Base issue. I want a global object to be able to open a popup using a parameter file defined at the Reference level, not the global level.
Thanks in Advance for any help
