Dual Weight Dimension in SW2006
Dual Weight Dimension in SW2006
(OP)
I recently got a request from upper management to implement part weight in the titleblock of our drawings...no problem as long as the materials are loaded in. Well the problem is we use dual dimensioning and need to display weight in lbs and kgs. I can get one or the other but not both using the mass custom property. Any thoughts?

RE: Dual Weight Dimension in SW2006
Presently you have a custom property for weight in US units. Create a second custom property for Mass in SI. Using a design table, grab your custom property for the Weight in US units. Have the conversion formula in the cell that will populate the SI custom property. Link your drawing text to both custom properties.
Second thought...This may only work in configuration specific custom properties.
