Is there a way to change the density of a part in SW using a data card variable? We have a long list of glass that we use, and it would be nice to assign this value when creating/modifying a new lens.
The lens material is selected through a drop down on the data card. I have it set up to grab the alternative material through a "Text with Alias". I would like to do the same with assigning the density.
Thanks,
Craig
Hi,
In advance I apologize, perhaps I did not understand something therefore I want to specify:
- what is used base of the materials *.sldmat?
- with the help of the Card only alternative material changes, the value in a tree of the file remains without changes, only properties change?

and right there question:

It is possible to specify once again where should will change value - in a tree or in properties?
It seems that in a tree - but then it not too most that with material?
Change in a tree = this change in base of materials?
In that case, I have a library with virtual files of matermal, these files have all necessary properties.
By means of SQL requests I select the necessary data from this library of matermal - but I cannot change them in *.sldmat base.
I where that had an example how to make SQL request to *.sldmat base if this is intresting I can look.
But I think that change of density = material change.
And as far as I understood material in a tree of the file does not change from the card?
