Materials in Assemblies

Jay Hagan May 2, 2018 4:58 PM

Is it possible in an assembly to see (check) if all components have a material assigned, preferably in the tree? I know if the parts are expanded it shows the material. I would like a quick way to know without having to check each component, sub component, etc. This would help in doing Mass properties easily.

Thanks.

Jay

Yes:

1) Use Assembly Visualization

2) Change a column (select "More")

3) Change to SW-Material
Then sort by that column.

I think there is. Using Design Checker, if you build a check and select all your materials in your database it should flag any parts that don't have a material assigned when you run the check. Evaluate>Check Active Document>Build Checks:
