I am trying to set the column width on a custom Rev Table & then save the table template. No problem in doing so up front, saving the template, etc., but the undesired issue is these widths will be auto adjusted by SolidWorks when I reinsert the table in a drawing. Why does this occur...
I am trying to to set the column width on a rev table & then save the table template. No problem in doing so up front, saving the template, etc., but the undesired issue is these widths will be auto adjusted by SW when I reinsert the table in a drawing. I need to reduce the widths to something...
Correct definitions....$PRP links to properties in the current document whereas $PRPSHEET links to props of the model in the view specified in the sheet properties of the drawing. No problem with annotation-sheet format links & evaluations. Now while in a drawing file, try to make evaluations...
They do not transfer from within the Custom Props from my understanding. They are to be entered seperately-a pain. One set of data should apply to the part & its assoc drawing, since I want our PDM-valult system to use just one set of attributes for simplicity. Now I've got to figure out how...
Any other suggestions out there on custom prop migration(values included) from part to drawing within the Custom Props dialog only? Otherwise, I will have to tell this engr office that it cannot be done & they will have to populate each files' custom properties individually before loading into...
A lot of good advice, but I'm essentially where I started. Now for a slightly related question, how do I create custom Drop Downs(choice lists) for the Value-Text Expression of the Custom Properties while in a SW drawing? I need to have a custom list of drop downs available for a custom...
I typed $PRPSHEET:"Description" in the Value/Text Expression field while in the drawing to attempt to transfer that property from the model itself. It simply evaluates to just $PRPSHEET:"Description" & not to the value assigned while in the model-part Custom Properties. Of course the above...
I'm trying to eliminate the need to have the fellas in this engineering dept retype-recreate the Custom Properties in the drawing file after they have been done in the model or assy. The values are eventually utilized by our PDM-PLM manager(Product Center) as attributes & checked into the vault...
I can link with $PRP: & $PRPSHEET: while using annotations in the sheet format, no problem there, but the $PRPSHEET:"property" does not evaluate to the correct assigned value when placed in the Value-Text Expression area of the Custom Properties dialog box for the part or drawing file. My only...
I know how to do the very procedure you are describing with the Sheet Format. The issue I have is with the Custom Properties & migrating the properties for the part to its associated drawing. The very links you are describing while applying annotations to the sheet format using $PRP &...
Doing just what you said while editing the Sheet Format is no problem, but while in the Custom Properties dialog of a drawing & assigning $PRPSHEET:"Prop1" to the Value/Text-Expression field, I only get just what was typed ($PRPSHEET:"Prop1), no further evaluation that would demonstrate the link...
Thanks for the info. I've seen the sheet format help before & not to sure if it all applies to my issue of property migration from part to dwg.
What about setting up drop down choices for the Value-Text expression in the Custom Properties area?
Allright Let's just forget about the PDM/PLM side of it. How do you transfer the File-Properties-Summary Info-Custom Props(attributes) from the part to its assoc drawing file? I'm trying to enter this custom data one time & one time only.
This data is aka metadata & attributes in most PDM/PLM...
I am trying to populate & transfer the attributes from my part to its associated drawing file for final mapping & eventual use in a PLM/PDM vault application that will simply read data from one file. In short, you usually fill out these attributes after creating a part, by accessing...
