Design Table (Evaluated Value)

[Chaturgha]

I'm in the process of creating a design table in an assembly that will link equation values. I have the custom properties set up however the design table returns the value of the equation and not the answer of the equation. The evaluated value within the custom properties is accurate. How can I get the design table to return the evaluated value and not the (Value / Text Expression)

Example within the Design Table:

cell b2 = $PRP@Masonry Width
cell b3 = "Masonry Width@Single Opening@1050 Bolt (Automatic).SLDASM"

That's exactly what shows up instead of an actual number. In custom properties it states the evaluated value is 40.

The design table is meant to be used as a final review for the engineers to look at to check dimensions of the parts to find inaccuracies.

If more information is required, I'd be more than happy to give it.

As I recall, you can't pass values into a DT like that, which was a real sticking part in some macros a colleague of mine was writing. Since you can't pass them all all you get back out is the text you entered int he DT, regardless of the evaluated value.

Thanks for the heads up. I find a method around it and instead I found out I can just have it read directly off dimensions. I'm still fairly new to the design table so I'm still getting accustomed to all it can do. I appreciate the help.
