We are trying to use an ePDM managed
Toolbox where individual parts files are used instead configurations. We need to add new components from time to
time and the description from SolidWorks is unusable. We want to access the ‘size’ parameter and
then compile our own description that meets our corporate standard. All would be fine if there were some way to
map this standard property to a custom property. Is this even possible?
Can a custom property be added (manually)
to the master part file w/ a value of something like $PRP@parameter or with a more appropriate syntax?
Aaron,
If a understand, you are using custom made parts, not the toolbox library? Meaning that those custom made parts do have configurations and most likely an excel design table to drive the values and descriptions?
Meaning that those custom made parts do have configurations? and most likely an excel design table? Because if that is the case, you can drive the values and descriptions from that excel sheet, even using internal excel text commands to concatenate whatever text string that you need, however you need to add the parameter name (i.e Description) as a column into that table first...
