Display values in a PEM table - SW 2015

3D Design Volume Model
1

Hi all.

That's my concern,

I have an assembly with 3 configurations, each giving me a different encroachment (sketch within my assembly with controlled dimension). I would like to be able to display these values in an array (like a general table) in my drawing using only one configuration for it (config A).

Example:

config A:  45 mm encroachment

config B:  100 mm encroachment

config C:  200 mm encroachment

I tried to create an equation " encroachment = D1sketch1 " but the value retrieved via the properties is still that of the configuration used in my MEP.

Can you help me??

Hello

Maybe it's possible to create 3 custom properties in the same config (config A in your case) and then go and repoint these properties

if it's only the encroachment that changes according to the reading of your question 

Create a table 

as in your example

Thank you for your answers, 

If only I had only one MEP to do, I wouldn't ask the question ;).  Moreover I only talked about a variable value but in reality there are several (angle, depth, width...). The goal is to make my MEPs "configurable".

Hello

 

Have you tried inserting your assembly 3 times (1x per config) into another assembly and then inserting the latter into your drawing? Then insert a table that points to this assembly and look for the different sides.

No, I didn't go that far, and if possible I'll avoid multiplying the assemblies again. The thing seemed very simple to me though, a bit like the management of qtys according to the configurations in a nomenclature...

Apart from creating a sketch and a prop per config, I don't see it.

I imagine that there are not only 3 configs per assembly ...

Hello

otherwise; really at worst you can put your 3 gonfig in the same view using this function

then you can rate the encroachment. see Pj, I have an assembly with 3 config positions that I put in the same view. It should work....

I'm not sure but like there you will have your 3 configs in the same view; normally you should be able to recover the properties of the 3 at the same time... To try

I'll test this and I'll keep you posted, thank you all!

Have you been able to test my proposal???

Hello and Happy New Year to you!

Just back from vacation I haven't tested the proposed solutions yet, I'll keep you informed as soon as it's done!
