Add a column in your design table for a custom property such
as$PRP@Description.
Make that value equal your extruded length using a
simple=A1(reference). Then use the Description custom
property asyour description in your BOM.
Thanks for the suggestions. That seems to work pretty
goodexcept that if I make a change to the extrusion length using
thehistory tree it does not automatically update the column in
theBOM. If I change the extrusion length in the history tree,
Ihave to open the design table to make it update. Then the
BOMis correct. Alternatively, I can go directly into the
designtable and change my extrusion length. Just a minor
annoyance,but I can live with that.
An alternative is to make the first or last feature a block
which represents the stock material size. The dimensions of the
block can then be read into the Custom or Config' Specific
Properties and in turn populate the BOM.
Why are you changing the extrude that often? Why not have
aconfiguration for each size? You can use a similiar formula
listedabove to create a configuration name. You could easily
createhundreds of configs in less than 5 minutes.
I have a similar problem. I have a piece of stock that has
configurations using unique part numbers and I need to show in the
bom, the stock part number as well as the cut length associated
with the part number. I have tried the examples above but with no
success. Maybe iI am getting the sytax wrong. an example i can give
is; stock number=1108822 and part number 110855 @ 200mm long.
Of course, I can do this manually but i would like the length to be
linked to the dimension parameter within the design table
I do not understand what you are trying to do, could you explain it a different way?
