Dimension Association With SAE Ports
Dimension Association With SAE Ports
(OP)
Hello all,
We use the SAE ports in the Design Library on a great deal of parts. Is there a way to have the dimension call-out automatically call the SAE port info? Also, is there a way to have the port info callout update on the drawing automatically if I change the SAE port size on the part model? It would even be ok if there is a way for us to tell solidworks to use our specific dimension callout info everytime we use the SAE ports. Maybe something like a custom property for a feature. I hope I am not missing something simple here but, I will ready the idiot cap :)
Suggestions welcome.
