Have you ever had to design an assembly where there was a common dimension(s) in all of your parts?  Maybe a diameter, hole to hole spacing or clearance around a part is used in more than one part.  If it’s early in the design phase, you may not know what this dimension will be, so you have to start with an educated guess.  If your educated guess was incorrect, you will have to open each file and edit each part with this new updated dimension.  In this blog article, I will show you a quicker, more efficient way to do this by exporting and importing parameters.
