Inserting custom properties into dimension text?
Inserting custom properties into dimension text?
(OP)
I want to be able to insert a custom property into my dimensions. Not necessarily into a note. For example i want my dimension to read MH-(custom property). So that it updates automatically when the property changes due to a change in my design table. It would be even better if we could directly link to the design table. However any help is appreciated. Thanks.






RE: Inserting custom properties into dimension text?
I've already sent in an enhancement request to SolidWorks for this. For example, we regularly have notes where we would stated:
INSERT BOLT (ITEM 5) INTO MOUNTING PLATE (ITEM 10) etc.
Would be very useful to link the item numbers. Perhaps you could put in an enhancment request.
RE: Inserting custom properties into dimension text?
A table in the drawing (showing the actual values of MH) might be a better way though.
