How can I automatically show mass in kg and LBS on my drawing?

Brian Yonker Jun 3, 2011 3:35 PM

I can insert a property link and have the mass show on my drawing. I currently have it set to kg. I also want another section to show that mass in LBS. Currently, I have to remember to do the math and update the property in the summary information manually.

Is there a way for SW to automatically update a summary information field with data from another property?

Thanks,

brian

Brian,
Welcome to the forum.
If you go to file>properties create a property called weight or something like that.
Then hit the down arrow in this column. Then all you have to do is link this property in your drawing and you will have
the value automatically fill in based on your material selection.

Hope this helps you. Good luck.
