Showing a calculated property on a drawing BOM
Showing a calculated property on a drawing BOM
(OP)
I have a SW part file with the following property "D1@Boss-Extrude1@part1.Part", which references the parts extrude length.
I want to show this value on my drawing's bom, but when I add it, it lists the name and not the value.
Can I make it evaluate the value, or somehow get it to show the value of this property?
thanks in advance,

You're right it is easy, so easy in fact, I already did that.
The problem is the BOM is not showing the 'number' value, it's showing "D1@Boss-Extrude1@part1.Part" in my bom.

Can you control D1@Boss-Extrude1@part1.Part from a design table?
If you can, then it is trivial to add this to your description. Assume your extrude length is in cell J3.
="MY EXTRUSION "&J3&"in LONG"

I am using a custom property, and in this case I cannot use a design table. The double quotes are not part of my property, I just showed them here to separate the property.
Here's a link to my properties, you'll notice the formula is not being evaluated

It seems I need the double quotes in my text, as soon as I added them it evaluated......
