I have a user who likes to put notes like:

in his drawings.

There is nothing fundamentally wrong with doing so, as far as I can tell, except that the '2' has to be counted and manually inserted. It is therefore not parametric.

Personally, I tend to put 'TYP' and leave the machinist to figure out how many there are, if he is interested. I can see, however, that there are circumstances in which it is helpful to point out the quantity of such a feature.

Is there a way to produce a note like this, but with a parametrically generated '2'? Of course, it could be '6' or '23', or any other figure, depending on circumstances.

There is the 'num_inst' function that gets put into patterns of holes, etc. I am looking for something similar.

SW 2018, SP4

Cheers,

John

Correct Answer

SPR 912898

If you want to vote for it, click the area marked in yellow and then hit submit, when you look up the SPR on the knowledge base.

I learned on Monday at User Advocacy Day 2018 that more than 60% of SPR's on the database have only 1 vote attached to them.

So get voting!

Unfortunately chamfers and fillets do not currently have this capability. I really wish they did though. We add #X in front of our dims but like you said it is not parametric.

It there any way for users to tell if an SPR has votes? so we can up-vote it?

Also it took me 20 minutes of navigating the labyrinth of SW website to find the Knowledge Base to look up this SPR. Did they change the support page again? I kept getting stuck in the Fixed SPRs list because I forgot Open SPRs were under Knowledge Base.

No, as far as I know there is no way for users to tell how many votes something has. And yes....sometimes the knowledge base is.....tricky. My advice is to save a short cut right to it.

This one gets my vote! It would be great to have that functionality.

I agree with Sarah Dwight about finding open SPR's. Unless you know, why would anyone look in the knowledge base for open SPR;s?

Why can't they have a line under My support for "Open SPR's"?
