- Create or open the part to which you want to add a group of saved custom parameters. For help with this step, see Working with Parametric Parts or Working with Block-Based MvParts.
- Depending on the type of part, do one of the following:
- If the part is parametric, in the part browser, right-click Size Parameters, and click Edit Configuration. Then, in the Size Parameters dialog box, click
(Insert Custom Parameter Group). - If the part is block-based, in the MvPart Builder dialog box, click the Properties tab, and click Edit Properties. Then, in the Property Editor dialog box, click (Insert Custom Parameter Group).
- If the part is parametric, in the part browser, right-click Size Parameters, and click Edit Configuration. Then, in the Size Parameters dialog box, click
- In the Open dialog box, select the Microsoft® Excel® (XLS) file that contains the group of custom parameters.
- Click Open.
The software adds the custom parameters in the selected file to the part. If the part already has a parameter with the same name as a parameter stored in the file, the parameter in the file is not added to the part.
If the file contains saved values for the parameters, the values are also added to the part.
