Callout of Gage?

Callout of Gage?

Callout of Gage?

(OP)
Hello,

In draft mode, is there a way to have a callout to a sheetmetal's gage? I don't see it in the Properties fields, only the Material. Right now I'm using the Title Property but that means I have to type it in the .psm properties box, a solution I don't like since typos could incur...

...

Ok, just found that there is a Material Thickness Property field, but I'd still prefer to get the name I gave to my gage entry... (e.g. CRS 16GA)

Thanks!

RE: Callout of Gage?

It's weird because with the property manager you can show a field called "Sheet Metal Gage" but I can't find it with the callout!

I don't know if there is a trick that can reach this property!

Couldn't you put that in the material property ?

I guess I could do that. But that would make a lot of entries in the Material DB (we use CR steel, stainless 304 of different finishes, HRS/HRP&O, galv, satin coat, brass... !)

I've asked our reseller, and it seems other customers have already requested this to UGS. I've been added to the list. Meanwhile I might go along with the Material Thickness Property.
