How to add mass of part into drawing, but not in grams like part.

Tadeusz Sliwinski Feb 23, 2011 3:50 AM

I have a part. This part is designed in metric system, weight unit is gram.

I set custom property of part, Weight --> SW-Mass@Second_roll.SLDPRT --> 8027g.

How to set second property with for example pounds (can I add equation to properties?), without changes of units in document?

Or how to add note with weight in pounds?

Set up an equation and multiply the mass (grams) value with the conversion factor. Now add a property in the part and set the value to this equation. Finally link the note in the drawing to this property.

Hi Tadeusz,
You can set up an equation in the part
"Pounds"="SW-Mass"/0.0022046
Then in the part properties have a property name Imperial Weight, on the drop down list for the value you will see Pounds
Link this property to a note in your drawing.

  Thanks Michael and Deepak.
  
  Is that simply...
  I didn't think about equations.
  
  Thanks again.
