(1) REQD
Above is a code I use in a note block that I drop on my part and it gives a blank line there the sheet metal thickness is supposed to be. It wont read that proprity. Why??
Did you carefully double check the name of the custom property for typos or double spaces?
Yes, tried no spaces, all caps, replaced that line with number & discription as the lines above & those show up. Tried "MASS" and that doesn't show either. I would think any proprety name that has a result in the part would display in this note.
Is the view of an assembly or a part? If it is an assembly of just one part perhaps the custom property is set in the part but not the assembly (because $PRPVIEW will reference the top level of the view).
A part. Doesn't matter if it is a single part file, weldment, part of multi-body part, the number & description will read but can't get the sheet metal thickness. Have even tried "STOCKSIZE".
Can you attach the part and drawing files?
The text above is a direct copy out of my note block. If you copy that into a note and make a block out of it then drop it onto a view in one of your drawings it should work the same. I manually change the REQD number (last line).
I tried that and it works for me with all of those properties, I just wanted to look at your custom properties in the part to see if anything stood out to me.
How do I send that to you?
Please use "advanced editor" in case you want to attach any files.Click on reply and then click "use advanced editor".
Can you make sure the file you are making drawing of is a sheet metal part? Also check that the property is not there is configuration and custom tabs under Part file properties.
That's it! I thought it was reading from the cut list but once I added "sheet metal thickness" to the summary information it shows up.
Thanks!
