Property Form

Hello

 

In the ownership form, when it is a sheet metal part, is it possible to have the thickness field filled  in directly?

In fact, what is the syntax for this property?

 

When I enter it by hand by the properties of the file, I have: "Epaisseur@Part. SLDPRT"

Is there a way to call the name of the room here?

Hello

 

See this link:

https://forum.solidworks.com/message/414851

 

In English it would be:

"Thickness@Sheet-Metal1"

 

So see what the function whose thickness you want is called:

"Folded base Epaisseur@tole 1" or "Epaisseur@Tolerie1" or other

I may have misunderstood the question but in File/Properties you can retrieve it (see image).

 

If it's really a sheet metal part!

Or to get the exact name, you can go to Summary of the site of the welded parts (by right-clicking on the folder or on the body from the shaft):

@Lucas: 1- the "epaisseur@Tolerie 1" parameter doesn't show  me anything. (I hadn't tested in English but nothing either)

               2- In the parameters of the welded parts list, there is the name of the part in the thickness ref. That's what I can't put in the car for all my parts.

 

 

@Benoit LF:  yes this is the setting I want to retrieve in the property form rather than going through the property table.

 

@Gt22: Thank you, you had already told me about them in a previous question. But I didn't see any ref to the sheet metal thickness.

 

 

Well and now while testing your solutions, SW just crashed....

Indeed, if you want it automatically for all rooms, it will probably be by a macro!

 

I don't know if you already know the VBA, to add this custom property, you have to use:

 

http://help.solidworks.com/2012/English/api/sldworksapi/add_custom_property_example_vb.htm

 

To get started in VBA, you can watch my tutorial which is commented for each line:

Otherwise, it can also be done with a utility like BatchConverter or Integration which are paid:

And "Sheet Metal 1" is the function you want the thickness of?

Does it work if you create a custom property or a "Thick" function related to "epaisseur@Tolerie 1" to be able to use it in your form?

@Lucas: Sorry, but your solution works, you had to restart sw for it to take it into account.

Which I hadn't done in my tests before.

 

So the syntax: "Epaisseur@Tôlerie 1"

 

Thank you.

 

 

edit: + the update of the welded parts. for the parameter to appear.
