ParametricText is an Autodesk® Fusion® add-in for creating Text Parameters in sketches.
Text parameters can be pure text or use parameter values by using a special syntax. There is also a special parameter, that contains information about the document’s version and saves the date.
All parameters are stored within the document upon saving. The texts are always “rendered” in the sketches, so they can be viewed without having the add-in. However, to correctly update the values, the add-in is needed.
⭐ This add-in is free, but if you like it, please drop a review and tell us about your use case! Drop a review even if you don't like it. (The reviews will also provide feedback for future development)
You can also support me by buying me a coffee (Ko-fi link).
The add-in is licensed under the MIT license.
