Here is a Macro that lists Volume in feet. See below for details.
We had a customer who wanted a volume on the drawing in feet, but wanted to build his part in inches. You can't find a way to do that in SW.
This macro will insert a macro feature into the feature tree. This macro will then run every rebuild. The macro takes the volume in the natural system units, meters, and converts it into feet. Then it adds a property called volume and adds that value. It updates when the model is changed.
If you add features after the Macro feature they will not be included. You can drag and drop the macro up and down the tree. This does require a ctrl-q rebuild for whatever reason.
It can be found at:
- Volume in Feet
I will be making this into a FAQ soon.
