Perfect, thanks!

A most useful plugin, potentially saves a lot of time and hassle! I use it to automatically engrave dimensions and version numbers onto my 3d prints  It's a pity that Autodesk didn't bother to implement parametric text feature. However, this plugin does the job really well and is probably more powerful than what Autodesk would have built.. It seemed a bit unintuitive at first, and I also forgot about that step again later, but once I found out/remembered that I just need to click the sketch text to have it replaced with the chosen expression, all is well.
Thanks a lot Thomas!

Works well once you watch the demo video. The grammar is easy to use and the examples on the "Change Text Params" window is a nice touch.

I do a lot of 3D printed assemblies and having the version numbers, critical dimensions, and assmbly part# values on the geometry itself is invaluable in the field.

Make this a default feature already, Autodesk!

Does exactly what it says on the tin, and makes revisioning for inscriptions super easy, barely an inconvenience!

Exactly what I was looking for and it just worked!

Like someone else said, why isn't this already in the base version of Fusion360?

Anyways, excellent work! This makes my life so much easier.

Should be possible with the standard functionality. Since it isn't this add-in fills the gap. Good work!

Have always wanted this ability but never thought to look at Add-Ins and today I did. Tried it on one very simple model that needed one marking driven by the key dimension, and it's done exactly what I wanted. Looking forward to making much more use of this - thank you!

I do a lot of work designing 3D printed parts. Having the ability to  automatically embed version information (dimensions, etc) onto those parts is huge for us.

In our project, we have multiple manufacturing processes, and we have to do a lot of "trial and error" testing. A 3D print gets used to make a mold which gets used to make a casting which gets fed into a CNC process, etc.

To keep that all straight, we include version information on the surface of each print. But maintaining that by hand was an error-prone pain.

This plugin is really helping to tighten up our process. Thank you!!!

This is really great! Thank you so much for putting this together, it's exactly what I was looking for.

Many thanks for the latest update - the {newline} feature is magic 😎

I was building a sleeve for IC sockets, and wanted the number of pins to be embossed on the lid, so I wanted something that would take the parameter of the number of pins for the text to emboss.

This does it quickly and easily.  I just had to figure out that the formatting of {pins:.0f} would get rid of the ".0" on the end.

THANKS!

It just works.

I create objects for my 3D printers to test tolerances and things of that nature. I will often have text right on the side of an object so I can tell what a certain dimension is. This will save me a lot of time by not having to go into the sketch where the text is each time and change it. Not to mention, I would sometimes change the text, but forget to change the parameter. Now I can do it all from the parameters window. Game changer.

Exactly what I needed. I miss this feature after switching from Onshape. Thanks!

Great plugin.   Excellent for embedding product revs, patt numbers, and a myriad of other uses.   Support is great as wel. 

It will be better if a parameter autofill/selector and value preview could be added.

I have to open Change Parameters and copy the names first. Cause Fusion has the parameter autofill, I never remember the parameter names.

Exactly what I was looking for.

Been looking for this! Works perfectly.

I can finally automatically engrave the size of pieces !

Thank you very much dear Thomas, the editor should give you a medal (in real gold) !

Glad to finally have this basic functionality to version my parts and embed paramentric details.

Hi thanjs for this nice and handy app !
Used for engraved text on part and makes text update much more easy and fast.
Only issue I've met is it seems to choke on parameters without units:
