Auto Volume from 3D to 2D
Auto Volume from 3D to 2D
(OP)
HI,
We have recently started to use Creo Parametric.
What is the best way to pull a volume through from a 3D model into a 2D drawing with accosiativity so any changes made to the model will update the drawing.
I am assuming i have to create a relationship but not 100% sure of the settings or coding in 2D.
Thanks in advnace for your help

To see these go to tools/Parameters/ and in the pull down menu on the bottom right change Main to Reported Mass Properties. If I recall correctly (I may be wrong about is as I don't use this functionality), you have to create your own parameter and set it equal to the built in parameter pro_mp_volume. Then you can put your parameter in a drawing note.

my_volume = pro_mp_volume()
and the use my_volume in your drawing table cell.
Create a mapkey to do the edit-setup-massprop and then regenerate in order to update my_volume.
Just having it in the footer does not get it updated into the parameters for use on a drawing.
