Material Attributes
Material Attributes
(OP)
Hey,
Im trying to find a way to extract a material and/or a finish spec to an attribute.
What i mean is, after i assign a material/finish from the smart models - product definition tool, i want to find a way to get that information to an attribute.
I want to do this so when you extract the attributes to a spreadsheet, the material/finish information shows up.
I understand i can add the attribute manually but thats not an option, i am going to integrate this into a program which already extracts a BOM to exel, but needs a way to find the finish/material info
Thanks a lot for any help in advance,
Andrew J

RE: Material Attributes
You will have complete control, under Customer Defaults, whether to assign just a Part or an Object Attribute, or both, as well as the title of the attributes. Out-of-the-box, this default will be "ON" for both Part and Object Attributes with both using an Attribute title of "MATERIAL".
