Hello all,
New to the forum. I was wondering is there a way to capture the total length of a finished part? I am trying to develop a database of our parts, which are all similar, however some have different features than others. I'm wondering if there is a way for SolidWorks to find the 'envelope' dimensions if you will of a part, regardless of its features. Sort of like a bounding box. Any suggestions?
Something like this:
2018 SOLIDWORKS Help - Bounding Box
Edit to Add: I'd recommend using a combination of that and Custom Property Tab Builder to get those dimensions into Custom Properties. And from there you can get them into things like ERP systems, etc.
