$STATE@Hole1

$STATE@Hole1

$STATE@Hole1

(OP)
SW2006  SP 5.0

Two configurations of the same part - one with hole and one without.

Now I am making "tabulated" drawing and one column will be: "Hole Exists" and the row below should have either YES or NO.

I have made "automatically populated" Design Table and it has column $STATE@Hole1  and below for config1 S (suppressed) and for config2 U (unsuppressed).

I am unable to somehow "grab" that info from the DT and use it in "general Table" on the drawing.

Next step would be to "translate" U into YES and S into NO, but I thing I could probably do it using equations (IF ...).

But going back to step 1 - how to "grab" that $STATE info from DT ??


I did search on the forum but found nothing (thou I am not very good at that)

Thanks for replies.

RE: $STATE@Hole1

1) You could create a custom property

2) You could insert the design table into your drawing (formatted nice of course).

RE: $STATE@Hole1

Use the IF conditional and format then insert the DT into the drawing.

Search the Help file for Displaying a Design Table in a Drawing

cheers

Wow - works like a charm.

Now, what's that:

Please explain like for a dummy ...  sad sad

RE: $STATE@Hole1

With a document open, click on File > Properties and under the Configuration Specific tab you can add properties which can be read into BOMs and drawings.

The property SolidAir was referring to was probably a YES or NO comment.

cheers

RE: $STATE@Hole1

Yes thanks for clarifying that for me CBL; I was referring to jacek0841's "translate" comment.
