Hi,

Can someone tell me the difference between the following when I need to display the mass of an item in a draft file, which is easy enough, but I've fould all these!

%{Mass|GP}
%{Mass|R1}
%{Mass|G}
%{Mass|[filename.par]}

Many thanks,

M
 

excerpt from SE's Help:


From Active Document %{Mass}
-----------------------------
Specifies that property values are retrieved from the active file.

Named Reference %{Mass|<file name}
----------------------------------
Specifies that property values are retrieved from the reference file currently
highlighted in Parts.

Index Reference %{Mass|Rx}
--------------------------
Specifies that property values are retrieved from the history-based index of
model files inserted into the drawing. You can see the sequence of inserted
files in Parts.
Index Reference provides access to top-level assembly information.

From Graphic Connection %{Mass|G}
---------------------------------
Specifies that the property values are retrieved from one of the following:
- If the annotation is connected to a part in a subassembly, information is
retrieved from the subassembly.

- If the annotation is connected to a part in a top-level assembly, it
displays information from the part.

From Graphic Connection provides access to top-level assembly information.
In assembly documents, it retrieves property values from the top-level occurrence, whether the occurrence is an assembly or a part file.

From Graphic Connection to Part %{Mass|GP}
------------------------------------------
Specifies that property values are retrieved from the part the
annotation is connected to.

Many thanks there dy!
 
The same applies to other file properties, the GP, G, Rx...



KENAT, probably the least qualified checker you'll ever meet...
