I cannot figure out what is going on here. In the default design library, the flanges in the routing -> piping -> flanges, are not correct on every size and class. For example, the 2" 600# Weld Neck Flange, shows the raised face as being 3.31" in dia. , while every book, or website I can find...

Thank you. I have been able to get it now. You got me into the right direction. I was able to retrieve the data as long I was in the same module. So my final line ended up as BSTR = UserPMPage.textbox1.text

Yes, I Have been able to create a page, and everything looks great. How do I query the text property.

I have looked through these, and most are written in VBA. I am not really having any issues with the custom properties. But more with VB.net. Sorry I was not clear on this issue.

Let me try this again. I have a program I am writing and I have very little experience with vb.net. I am trying to figure out how to bring information from a textbox in the property manager, using the swPropertyManagerPageControlType_e.swControlType_Textbox command.

I have created a simple Custom Properties add-in for my company. I have everything working just fine, traversal of multiple assemblies, traversal of all features in those assemblies and parts, retrieving, adding and setting properties. However I have made a custom property manager page for my...

No, we do not. The only BOM we have is what is on each assembly page. I have written a hardware program through API, that allows us to have a final BOM, which list all hardware needed, along with the minimum sheet metal size stock for each part. This BOM the customer, nor the installers ever...

Unfortunately, the parts are created by an stand alone automation program which is being programed in Amsterdam. I have no control over the creation of the parts, I am only working on the final display at the last level.

I have already knocked 40% off the design time as it is, I doubt I can get them to change more for another 1%. Even if I could prove a money savings advantage. I would then have a BOM that would be so long that it would require multiple sheet to show it. Extra paper + extra ink + printer wear...

To CorBlimeyLimey: We produce oil field sheet metal equipment. To takedownca: I agree, in most cases I have worked for small to medium sized companies that I can sit down one-on-one with the owner if needed and explain things. Now, I am with a company that is in numerous countries and has...

I understand you question. I am fairly new to this company and have not learned all the reasons behind some of the procedures. I have included two images, showing what I am trying to obtain. The first shows what Solidworks currently produces with it's BOM. The second shows what I am trying to...

The BOM is there for the installers in the field. The product is not assembled in the plant, only in the field. This practice came from the board drafting days when a drafter did not want to spend all day writing out a line for each part. Thus, they combined any like description into one line...

DEdddie, Yes, every part has a unique ID, that is why the example shows that parts 1 thru 6 are panels. The Iso-view has balloons that point to each part. eg. item 1, item 2, item 3....item 6 But the BOM only shows a single line for items 1 thru 6.

OK, here is the situation. Due to our line of work, our assemblies can have hundreds of parts. Most parts have the same exact description. I have been working slowly on a total conversion from AutoCAD to Solidworks. This is an ongoing project, but one of the first things to do was to tackle the...

I have tried that. I created a column with the title "num" Then created a new column. and set it's equation to 'qty' * 'num' and it produces a column full of zeros

Well, so far I may have to go with the way I have figured. If I created a new Column "Qty." and add an equation for this column. 'QTY' * # (# being the amount of assemblies to be made). And then hide the original QTY column. I end up with a BOM that shows me the total needed. However, that...

No, these assemblies can tax our systems as they are. If I was to pattern them as many times as needed (sometimes up into the hundreds) it would eat us alive.

I have read that thread, and it is not what we are trying to do. In answering your question. Our drawing/bom for assembly A would show that we would need 12 X's for that sheet. These are sheet metal components. They are never the same. each part is different from job to job. So I do not have...

I should have clarified that bit. We almost never build the same components twice. All components of each order have a unique ID for every part. Such as. If Order XY123 comes in then each part and assembly and drawing have the prefix XY123_(file_name) The only thing I need to focus on is...

Here is the deal. The company I work for demands that each assembly drawing shows the TOTAL QTY for the BOM. For example: Bolt 501 is used 100 times in each assembly. However the blueprint calls for 7 of these to be built. So therefore, the BOM must show a line that reads 501 700QTY Bolt...
