Part Weight in Repeat region table

Part Weight in Repeat region table

Part Weight in Repeat region table

(OP)
Hello all,

I have had a good search around this forum and the net for a solution to my problem.

I wish to put individual weights in a table on the assy drawing.

My model is in mmNs, and I want the weight in Kg's.

I followed this tut

http://www.proecentral.com/portal/articles/articlesDetail.asp?id=34

But my units on the drawing dont corispond to the calculated mass properties in the model.  I know the mass is in Tonne but thats simple to convert, this values isn't even close to that.

Any help would be great.

Thank you.

PieBoy,

You can allways change the UNITS to mm Kg s. Create yourself a mapkey and repeat to all your parts and assemblies. I hope you don't have thousands in your top level.

And for thr future, setup units for template part, function of your needs.

Good luck.

If you can't change the units, another way would be to create a relation that equals a new parameter for the weight in Tonne inside each part.  Add that new parameter in the repeat region for the mass.
