Hey
I have been drawing in AutoDesk Inventor for some years.
I have recently change job and my new firm are using SolidWorks.
My question is, if it is posibly to export your dimensions into the description and BOM, so the description is automatic updated when you makes changes to the sketch.
In Inventor you mark the indiviadully dimensions to export in the parameters box and in the discription box you make a formel. For example =Tube <D1> mm, where D1 is the dimension that is automatic updated in description.
Can you do the same i SolidWorks.
I hope, that I make sense.

Yes you can. Open the Custom Properties editor, and select the "Description" property. Set your cursor where you want the dimension to be in your description and then find the dimension on your screen (double click the required feature to make it appear). Clicking the dimension should add it to your property.
