Parts property problem in BOM

[MartinHnv]

Hi !

I have problem with property. Part made with structural member has its own "Length" property. When i make part using protrusion and later bind dimension with self-made property(also "Lenght"). Now when i want both parts Length in BOM i must make 2 columns, but i want them displayed in one column, someone knows how to do that ?

Not sure I understand your question?

You have a BOM that displays a certain dimension on your part or are you wanting it to display the custom property "Length"?

When you say "bind" are you meaning "Link". If that is the case, then you are not using a customer property but creating an equation "Length" = some value.

To use this value in a drawing, you will need to create a custom property Length with a value of "Length@part.sldprt".

If your drawing is of a part, just add $PRPSHEET:"Length" to the cell that you want to show the dimension.

If it is an assembly, it is quite a bit more difficult because you will have to call out the actual dimension such as "Length@Boss-Extrude1@part.sldprt".

I hope this helps.
