BOM/Part Description variables

[rylee]

Is it possible to have varying part descriptions? Say I
have a 15" x 12" x .5" steel plate. I would like that to be
shown in the part description so it will come into my BOM
with the actual plate size automatically. Can someone tell
me how?

Hi,


In the assembly modeadd flexibility tothe required part. In the flexibility window select the parameter tab. Then select the required parameter. Fill in the required details in the 'New Value' cell.

can we define volume automatic in Drawing AND change will be automatic update.
how can this possible.
please tell me in detail.

Hi,


&PRO_MP_VOLUME is the path from where the volume can be retrieved directly onto the drawing. Type this in the note. Volume will be updated on the drawing according to the changes made in the model.

What if there isn't an assembly? I would like to get the
part description to show the length x width x height of the
part.

You could try creating a note feature in the model that calls the specified dimensions. Notes allow you combine strings and real number data types in the text field, with the proper syntax of course. To the best of my knowledge, parameters/relations do not respond well to attempts to mix strings and real numbers. But, like parameters, notes can be called by name in drawings.
