Variable table and physical properties

Variable table and physical properties

Variable table and physical properties

(OP)
Halo there,

I'm not using SE18 for a long time and I have run into a following problem:

I would like to show in the Part list in the drawing an actual volume of the particular part. There are a lot of specs to show, but not the volume. Anybody any ideas?

I tried to do it throuh variable table and exposing some variable, but how to get the volume there? I noticed, that when you first open a variable table, there are some variables waiting for you already, like accuracy and density? How did it get there?

Thanks

Hi,

no it's not available in a parts list. The volume is
available for a callout, however.
The variables you mentioned are already set within the
normal.par/.psm

Thanks, but is there a way to edit, what will show in the variable table? I mean is there a similar way to retrieve the volume information as the density information in the variable table?

RE: Variable table and physical properties

Igod,

neither volume nor mass is available as variable within
the variables table sad
All variables in that table will be created either automativcally
during construction or can be defined by user say you
would have a var called MyLen and set it to 1.00. Then
you could set a dimension variable to that value by just
specify the name of your variable in the formula column
