Hello
I work on the families of parts for threaded rods whose thread (diameters and length) vary according to the configurations.
I was able to confugur my table, but I can't visualize on the graph the dimension of the thread length unlike the diameter.
Anyone know why and how to do it?
Thank you
Hello
Here is a family of parts on a screw, you can use it as an example.
Thank you @vspemens,
But if you look more closely, there are small problems with thread length:
To see the thread length you have to click on the circle representing the thread (here in blue)
On the other hand, we can see the dimension of the threaded length:
And my question is why don't we see it in my house?
Oh yes indeed, I had never noticed after I only use it visualization on my 3d and in the 3d it corresponds to the right length.
The column that is not properly populated is the "LF@REPFIL" column
I also believe that you have to open all the configs one by one and rebuild so that the thread representation updates!
And for that there is a macro on lynkoa.
EDIT: in fact after trying for me no need to update it follows perfectly.
I think I finally found out: I had a mistake in the name of my rating; You shouldn't put any space.
I replaced the space with a dash and this is what it looks like:

Thank you 2!
I give the benefit of the right answer to @sbadenis because it seems closer to what I expected.
When a new part family is created, the wizard inserts what it considers to be changing (dimensions or property).
Be careful, because it even has the piloted odds (it's better to remove them from the table !!)
To add a call number that is not listed, here is one of the possible methods:
exit the excel, go to the creation tree, right-click on the Annotation folder,
check "Show function dimensions", display the model in total wireframe (allows you to see all the dimensions),
Return to the Excel (the cursor must be located on the first line and to the right of the filled box).
At this point if you click (or double click, it depends on the Excel editing mode) on a dimension, or function in the tree, it adds it to the Excel.
After filling in all the lines of the excel, then exit, and put the display back in shaded, hide the dimensions by the "Annotations" folder.
To display all the ratings, this implies some setting/use of the display filters, and options.
Tip: for ASM and PRT (not for MEP!), I prefer to hide the "thread circle" that crosses the 3D, and keep only the thread texture (requires a good use of filters, and settings of the "Annotations" folder) and I also disable solder (for Soldered PRTs) in the "Annotations" folder.
On the other hand, the setting of the displays with "useful use" of the filters in the 3D, is a bit peculiar to manage, if you do dimensioning in the 3d that you import into the MEP.
For the dimensions, it's not a problem, but for the "surface finishes" or "geo tolerances" it's a story, in order to keep the use of the filters, and display of the threads in the 3D.
A little personal tip, to have a logical sequence in the configs, you can put "spaces" and the numeric sequences are ok:
In the 20x series, everything is in order!
I prefer to plan for zeros, and put spaces with "x"
and your 800 will create a block later, if you want a 1000?
020 x 050 x 0200
020 x 100 x 0300
020 x 100 x 0400
020 x 100 x 0800
020 x 100 x 1000
020 x 100 x 1300
(and another thing, it's my personal choice, but I rarely use the "property manager" because it poses some limitations on the user side in ASMs, such a small list doesn't need a PropertyManager, but it's still my choice)
