Indeterminate value in custom properties

[SWCADMAN]

Hi,

In the configuration specific custom properties of a part there's a "Indeterminate" value with no name or type. It doesn't effect the title block. Why does this value appear and how can I get rid of it?

Thanks in advance,
SWCADMAN

I don't see what your talking about?

I see this too sometimes. No idea what it means, I usually delete it.

I often have this too. I have not figured out what causes it yet. I also just delete it whenever I stumble across it, but it does no harm if left.

If you choke a smurf, what color does it turn?

What Indeterminate value are you guys seeing? I have not run across this yet?

Scott,

I have run into it also. Sometimes after you have filled out values under the configuration specific tab and then later go back to edit them a property called "Intermediate" will be listed where Description or Date etc. would be listed. I believe it only ever shows up in the configuration specific tab, never in the "Custom" tab. As everyone above says you can either leave or delete it. Can't say for sure but I believe I have seen it since upgrading to SW2004 SP3.

Next time I come across one I will place a screenshot in this post. Just had a quick look & of course cannot find or make one happen!!!!

How do I post a screenshot?

Alt-printscreen then ctrl-v does not seem to work...

I've seen them appear when they are used with a customized drawing format where the values are filled with information that is used in the drawing.

But should the drawing template be changed (ie. to show more/different info) the original values remain in the part/assembly file as indeterminate since they nolonger have an active link to the drawing.

You have to create a GIF file & post it to a website & then link to that website via

but change the {}for [] ... I had to change them here or it tries to link out.

See the Process TGML link below the Reply box below.

CBL,

I found this in the Progress TGML link today [ignore][ignore]test[/ignore][/ignore] using the "ignore" lets you show the [] symbols.

So you can post it like this [ignore]

[/ignore]

If you get a screen shot I would love to see it.

Thanks,

Seen it lots of times , No problem in deleting it !!
I always check for it when inserting design tables cause it gets annoying and can play havoc (turns up in the design table as $PRP )I have seen it in 2001plus and 2003 and 2004
Don't know what it is about though!!

I use a lot of custom properties (in fact, my parts only have custom properties) and they are called in the title block. Never seen that error!

I run into this a bit. The Property has NO NAME, and the Value is "Indeterminate".

Every time Ive dealt with it, it was generally a typo in the "$PRP" entry in the design table.

Here you go ... It doesn't really tell you much, but at least you get to see what it is.
