Part Family Weights
Part Family Weights
(OP)
I currently have around 50 part families each containing 100+ members. When we create the tabulated drawing for the family, one of the criteria we put on there is the part weight. is there a way to avoid opening every single member or applying the values to each instance and manually getting the weight? Ultimately what i would like is the weights are in the family spreadsheet and get auto populated like the Part number filed when the table is created on the drawing. but i would be happy with somethign that just gives me the weights of every member without opening each model.

What version of NX are you using?

is there a way to get the weight to show up in the table?

Let me put an example together and I'll get back to you.

But so that you can at least see how this would work if you DID create a drawing linked the weights of a bunch of parts, look at the attached Drawing file.

We have a part family of ≈650 parts and we are after their volumes. Measure bodies is at the bottom of the children's model tree. Is there a way to extract a table (static/snapshot is fine) of all of the volumes?
I'm really looking for a quick way to populate an ERP system with weights of these parts in many different materials so once we get a list of part numbers and their volumes in excel this becomes really easy.
Thanks for your time

NX6.0.5.3/TCuA8.3 (a solution here is ideal for my users.)
NX8.5 / NX9.0 (a solution here is manageable as I can re-create the part family native if the functionality exists here)
