Configurations and Customer Properties

[red351cobra]

I am in the process of creating configurations for the fasteners that my company uses and I am using a table to drive the properties.

The descriptions that I set in the table show up in the configuration window, but not in the custom propeties box and therefore not in the BOM when I do an assembly.

I can manually copy and paste the description from the configuration window into the custom propety box but that is kinda time consuming and really defeats the purpose of the table to a degree.

Is there someway to make those propeties also appear in the
custom properties box short of writing a macro.

Thanks in advance.

You need a column in the design table to drive the custom properties. The format of the column header is

$PRP@propertyname

where "propertyname" is the name of the property you want to drive with the table. Note that the property names are case-sensitive, such that "PartNumber" is not equivalent to "PARTNUMBER" or "partnumber".

There's also the option in the configuration properties manager to choose which name you want to show in the BOM...parent versus config

I added that property to the design table and it worked great.

Thanks for the help.
