how to use bounding box dimensions in assembly cut list?
(OP)
hello,
i need small help with using bounding box dimension journals. my problem is that when i use this journal http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=319996 i get what i need but only in small info window. as i do not know anything about VB, i am asking for help, how can i use dimensions i get from this journal in assembly material list? is there any way to put dimensions in expressions or in attributes?
to explain procedure i need. i make a part with only one solid in it, i measure that solid. then i make assembly with 400+ of these solids and i need list of dimensions on one drawing sheet. is it possible with this journal? if not can you give me links to some journal that can be used that way?
thank you!!!

The supplied VB Journal creates bounding locations for X,Y,Z but does not cap the decimal place result.
Example:
BOUNDING_X has a value of 38.11247123821773
I would like to shorten that to 38.112
*Doing this within the Journal would be preferred as it would be all contained in one "click"

The journal has been updated per your request. Follow the same download link in the original post.

Works like a charm

Is it possible to get the XYZ results to display in "inches" if the part is made in millimeters?
RE: how to use bounding box dimensions in assembly cut list?
Here is a version that reports inches no matter the units of the file. This version checks the part units of the work part and if it is a metric file, the distances are converted to inch before assigning them as attributes (no conversion takes place if the file is already in inches).

Do we have an option in UG throught which we can manually find the BOUNDING BOX dimension, I mean do we have an option called BOUNDING BOX dimesion or BOUNDING BOX is the general terminology used for finding the minimum and maximum dimension of an assembly or an individual component.

If you are running under Teamcenter, the values can bee read under the named references under the Item revision. If you have the CAM license, the bounding box definition is probably used when defining blanks. I think it is available in the Mold Wizard application too. But i don't think it's readily available in Modeling or Drafting.
