Formula inside Parts List cell
Formula inside Parts List cell
(OP)
I'm using NX Routing Electrical tool and have assigned WEIGHT per unit length attribute(characteristic) for the wire stock data in the .ptb file. While generating BOM, i'm trying to calculate the Weight for the wire by setting <W$=@WEIGHT>*<W$=@length> as Default text inside a BOM Column.Also, i've enabled "Evaluate cell as Formula" option. But it doesn't seem to work.Please suggest a solution.

RE: Formula inside Parts List cell
Thanks for replying. But i tried <W$=@length>*<W$=@length> and it works. i.e., it returns a number. Also, i set two number attributes var1 & var2 to a component and in the part list tried <W$=@var1>*<W$=@var2> and it returns the product.So, I think it doesn't work only for the wire stock components.Sorry if i'm wrong....
As you said, if strings are returned, is there any function to convert it to a numeric value inside parts list....
