Is it possible to assign a part's filename to a custom property of a welded part list part?

3D Design Sheet Metal / Machine Welded

Hi everyone

I would need to know if it is possible to assign a custom property of a part to a custom property of an item in the welded parts list.

Let me explain:

I created a custom properties form for each type of file (part, assembly, mechanically welded, drawings) filling in different things such as a description, a material, a manufacturing method, a date, a designer, etc. and in particular an article code.

The "Item Code" property of a part will fetch the file name of the part [SW-File Name] and is displayed in the form.

The "Item Code" property of a welded machine will look up the file name [SW-File Name] but nothing is displayed in the form.

I think this is normal since the welded parts list item does not have a file name.

I would therefore like to know if it is possible to retrieve the "Article Code" property of a part and assign it to that of a mechanically welded.

All this then allows me to extract the data in an Excel using MySmartBom (MyCAD tool).

At the moment, the extraction is rather successful but the article code of a mechanically welded should be the same as that of the part (upper level).

Attached, an example of an extraction from a conveyor. The first sheet is the current version and the second sheet is the version you want in the end. In red this is what I would like it to appear (box "Article Code").

I hope I'm clear enough...

Thank you for your answers in advance

Sincerely,

V.Brnt

Hello

So 2 different bodies but welded together would have the same article code?

Hello MAGNIN. P,

No, not at all.

When creating a sheet metal part or using the mechanically welded function, SolidWorks creates a "part" body and a "Welded Parts List Item" body. 

These two bodies would have to have the same article code. Knowing that the article code of a "part" body is the registration file name.

Can you take a screenshot because I don't see what you call "a body part" I draw sheet metal h24 and I only have items from the list of welded parts. But I have the impression that you're going to have a problem if you make multi-body pieces. With your ruler, all the bodies of the same part will have the name of the filename of the part. And if your bodies are different, it 's not very relevant.

I think I expressed myself badly.

The part has different custom properties than the welded parts item. I just want them to have the same item code automatically.

This is normal, there are body properties and part properties. A part can be made up of several different bodies. The purpose of the article code is to distinguish between different parts and different bodies. 

In case you have a part , the article code = "A1", this part is composed of an angle welded on a square tube. According to what I understood from your explanations, the angle iron would have the article code "A1" which is the same as the part. and the same for the tube...  

I don't see how a tube would have the same article code as an angle and even less the same code as the end part composed of the angle + the tube.

Yes, that's exactly it. The thing is that the article code would allow you to refer to a plan number. So if they all have the same article code, it allows you to find the bodies on the map.

It doesn't matter that they all have the same article code, on the contrary.
