Does anyone know what property this value is being pulled from?
Ultimately i am interested in accessing this value from PDM similar to the Cutlist BOM.
I'm rather new to the forums, but have been searching for this answer on and off for the better part of a month.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Running Solidworks 2018.
Thank you in advance
Hi Marco,
Thank you for your quick response. do you know of any way to access SWpipeLength? my attempts in the past/present have been unsuccessful.
I found one reference in the past to SWpipeLength in the following thread from 2011
SWPipeLength Property
I have tried looking up the status SPR 564388 but don't have access to the knowledgebase.
The thread mentions that the only way to access the value is through the BOM, but the feature tree is pulling the value (assuming it is also using SWpipeLength).
I tried to access it, but I cannot in any other way than through the BOM.
According to the SPR you mentioned it should be implemented.
Marco,
Thank you for looking at the SPR and Trying access the property.
going off of the SPR summary in the image you shared, i was able to "see" the SWPipeLength property when i tried linking a note to a selected component.
I was unable to see SWPipeLength when working with the Virtual pipe segment or with it saved externally. It appears that it only exists at a Route Assembly level, but even then can't be accessed/evaluated.
just as an added check, i did the same experiment in SW 2016 and had the same results.
As i mentioned before, I am quite new to the forums, can you advise any next steps for escalating this since it seems to be a feature that is bugged?
I believe it comes from the route property SWpipeLength
Hope this helps
