$STATE@Hole1

[jacek0841]

SW2006 SP 5.0

Two configurations of the same part - one with hole and one without.

Now I am making "tabulated" drawing and one column will be: "Hole Exists" and the row below should have either YES or NO.

I have made "automatically populated" Design Table and it has column $STATE@Hole1 and below for config1 S (suppressed) and for config2 U (unsuppressed).

I am unable to somehow "grab" that info from the DT and use it in "general Table" on the drawing.

Next step would be to "translate" U into YES and S into NO, but I thing I could probably do it using equations (IF ...).

But going back to step 1 - how to "grab" that $STATE info from DT ??


I did search on the forum but found nothing (thou I am not very good at that)

Thanks for replies.

1) You could create a custom property

2) You could insert the design table into your drawing (formatted nice of course).

Use the IF conditional and format then insert the DT into the drawing.

Search the Help file for Displaying a Design Table in a Drawing

Wow - works like a charm.

Now, what's that:

1) You could create a custom property

Please explain like for a dummy ... :-( :-(

With a document open, click on File > Properties and under the Configuration Specific tab you can add properties which can be read into BOMs and drawings.

The property SolidAir was referring to was probably a YES or NO comment.

Yes thanks for clarifying that for me CBL; I was referring to jacek0841's "translate" comment.
