Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want to generate STL files with various numbers as text.
I use the FusionSheeter plugin to automatically change parameter values and export an STL for each.
With Parametric text, I use this formula: #{number.value:04.0f} It works when changing the parameter manually. However, ParametricText won't update the text when FusionSheeter changes the parameter value, so all my STL files end up identical.

Describe the solution you'd like
Would be great if ParametricText updated the text when FushionSheeter updated the parameter.
I'd make the change myself if I knew how 😁

I'm running into a similar problem and part of the solution might be on the Fusion 360 side. When I export to *.stl, a file name is automatically generated that includes the version number, then Fusion 360 saves the file (just to make sure), ParametricText uses the new version number, which goes into the exported file.

I end up with design_v29.stl as a file and "v30" embossed on the design in the file. I'm not sure that the solution to this is with ParametricText, but with Fusion 360's auto-saving and file name suggestion pattern.
