rstupplebeen: Thanks for the macro. But i'm looking at somewhere around 2000 configs...

fantastic! Can you tell me how? Please....

Hi, I want to have a macro/API to do the following: 1. Create a new part. 2. Read 3d-coordinates from the first line in a file (ie excel) 3. Sketch lines between the coordinates 4. Make an extrusion from the sketched lines. 5. Save the part as part1.sldprt 6. Create a new part. 7. Read...

Hi, I frequently use the "sketch color" command in part mode. Unfortunatly I can't find a way to do this in assembly mode. Is it possible to change color of a sketch in a assembly? Thanks

Hi, Is it possible to add a custom made revision symbol. I want to have a symbol other than the ones included in the revision symbol selection and therefore I choose "none" and then insert a block with my symbol. Can this be done more easily? Thanks, Magnus

BTW, Do you know a way to get a edge length into custom property, without set a dimension. I have very many parts, and just want change it from the Task Scheduler (update custom property)

ok, thanks for the answer. I want to make a bom of several RD-values, all with same name in different parts.

In custom property I want to write: "RD1@Drawing View1@Part1.slddrw". But Part1 can also be expressed as $PRP:"SW-File Name". Is it possible in some way to replace <Part1> with <$PRP:"SW-File Name">? This doesn't seems to work: "RD1@Drawing View1@$PRP:"SW-File Name".slddrw" I use SW2009sp2.1...

Thanks! Can I blame on the late time of day where I am? :) One more question thou... The parts won't rebuild using update in task scheduler after changing the value in custom property. Nor will them update using rebuild in assembly. Do I have to open them and rebuild them one at the time?

Ok, but how exactly do i do this? Lets assume I have a sketch called Sketch1, containing dimension D1. What do i write in equation? And wath do I write in custom property?

Hi, I know this has been up here before, but i can't figure out how i works. I want to be able to specify a value linked to a dimension using custom property. My plan is then to control dimensions in several parts using task schedular thru custom property. Thanks!

It's 250 seperate parts i'm afraid. It's not possible to rebuild them to configurations. Thanks anyway!

Yes, that's right. Part1 - Length1 - Length2 - Length3 Part2 - Length1 - Length2 - Length3 ... . .

All the 250 parts origin from one part. The only thing that seperates them is a sketch that control a main extrude. All sketches and lines are the same in all parts. It's three line-lengths in each part => total 750 lengths.

Thanks for the answer. Yes, it's a "General table" in a slddrw. I have just one little problem... The assembly consists of 250 parts. It would take weeks to add reference dimensions to all parts. Is there perhaps another way to do it that you know of?
