ewh, the issue with the drawing superceeding the model would be (for example) in the case where the part must have a tighter tolerance than standard, or must be a plus zero, minus something for example. Since I am not allowed to go "all model" and utilize the y14.41 capabilities of SW, I needed...
I'm planning on ordering it. However, the customer is reluctant in even using GD&T (the barbarian factor) or I'd use a surface profile tolerance on all untoleranced values. But I'm still going to give it a try...
We are using models as the "master data", yet have drawings to clarify what is not on the model. My issue is with tolerances. Typically untoleranced dimesions on the drawing default to the title block tolerances (.xx, .xxx). However, when using the model as the data, how are the tolerances...
Yes, but as I recall, it did not seem to matter before, I could save the sheet while editing the sheet format (I do know that this is not desirable - but it would do it). The problem with this type of editing is that you don't have to change anything for long periods of time, then when you do...
I did figure this out, but still confused about how this program works. If I selected the sheet by right clicking the sheet tab and then selecting the sheet, I can make changes to the sheet format, but can not save it (as described in my initial post). If I select "browse" and load the sheet...
I am trying to modify some sheet formats. Usually, I go to file, save sheet format, and either overwright an existing one, or create a new one. Lately, however, the screen just blinks and nothing. Any suggestions? Thanks
I checked again, and I feel I was right the first time. Just "evaluating" $PRP instead of $PRPSHEET. Otherwise, I just can't understand what you are talking about.
OOPS, yes, sorry (I even thought I tried that before I posted).
I'm still trying to understand what you mean by "evaluations". Are you saying that when in a drawing, you select file, properties and expect to see what you had typed in for properties in the part properties?
Im revamping the part and drawing properties for my templates. My question is how am I able to populate parts / drawings that were created before the changes to the "templates" were made.
I'm assuming that this question should have come up before, but I can't seem to find a thread that...
The links to your properties (from the model) on your drawing should contain the $PRP: (not the $PRPSHEET:), which was explained on an eariler reply (checking bullet "model view specified in sheet properties" when selecting the link property.
Examples:
$PRPSHEET:"SW-File Name" = takes info...
