When I create a Design Table in a part it inserts the "Value
/ Text Expression" not the Evaluated Value. Is there anyway I can
fix this. When I open drawings from 2006 the files still have the
Evaluated Values.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Thanks for your help in advance.
The ability to "extract" evaluated values of properties from SW using a Design Table work in SW 2006 up to SP 4.1, then someone requested SolidWorks to eliminate that functionality because have no use for him... and apparently SolidWorks do that... eliminate an existing functionality... crazy... they just create a voluntary regression!!! This have created a big problem for us since we used that ability to extract values from SolidWorks into Design Tables to be used to perform complex calcualtions (which can not be done inside SolidWorks and also to "unload SolidWorks form this task" and not degrade the performance of the CAD... (some of our models require over 3000 equations and some of them are integrals and non-linear equations utilized to design heat exchangers with phase change)... we have formally requested SolidWorks to put back this functionality on the software, since we cna not upgrade from 4.1 unless this functionality is back in the program... they promeess to do that as fast as they can... lets see if it is true..
In the mean time you can make the same request... the more people asking for something the faster they will do it.
I wonder who will request to eliminate an existing fucntionality just because he do not use it (or in fact because he do not know how to use it correctly, since apparently this user wants to "extract" allways the text value and the program was returning the "evaluated" value... the problem was that their Design Tables and the parameters or the DT feature where not properly configured)... as a result, all our models (many moons of work) do not work since all of them use that functionality that was removed from the program... :-(
