New to EPDM. In the past we had custom properties for SIZE and THICKNESS that were manually linked to dimensions in our parts. This was done by going to the standard custom properties (file -> properties), double clicking in the text field and then clicking on the dimension in the model. If the dimension was updated this custom property would update as well. Now we have created data cards and are trying to replicate the same thing from the data card. Is this possible?
You can still do as you have used to do it. The PDM data card does not pick up those dimensions, but the data card may have Size -field that reads the info inputted on the properties inside SolidWorks....
That would be awesome feature in datacard for it to "listen" what user is clicking and would link the value of a dimension to a field in card.
I know a lot of third party custom property programs that are able to do this... the smart ones can make size linking to different profiles for example... select tube and it will ask for Diameter, wall thickness and Lenght.. add them together to one "Dimension" property DxSxL for example...
