I have created many different families for the air terminals we commonly use on our jobs.  Several of these families include up to 50 or 60 different family types.  The problem I am having is that whenever I discover that I missed a certain parameter that needs to be associated, when i add the parameter I then must go thru EACH family type and enter the same info.  Is there a way  to change this kind of paramter all at once?  I hope someone will tell me yes because changing adding and changing this data becomes extremely tedious and wastes a lot of time.  Thanks again for any help.

OK, I've done it again.  A little more googling and I've found the answer.  This example works for a parameter with a text format.  I found that if I enter into the formula column "TITUS" (with quotes) that the word TITUS will then be propogated into all the different family types for that parameter.  Then all I do is hit apply and then erase the formula hit apply again and all my types are updated.  This is a huge time saver.  I have not explored this technique exhaustively but I am sure it will be useful in other ways as well.
