Hi all
I'm in the process of redoing my cartridges to start the year 2015 on a good basis.
I would like to show in these cartridges the thickness of my sheet metal part. And this, in automatic.
How to do it?
In my opinion, you have to put the manually driven value in your cartridge, because each part will have a different thickness dimension name.

I manage to recover the material, the mass, the date, the name of the piece. but the thickness, I'm drying...
The thing with the driven value is that I have to put it back every time, whereas I would like it to happen automatically.
If it's a sheet metal part, in the properties of the body you have the thickness.
Yes, but in my questionnaire, he doesn't offer me anything.
And as Thomas says, each piece will have a different rib name, a different thickness...
You have a possibility to extract a volume and a surface in automatic, you must be able to create a formula that deduces the thickness
What I'm just asking for is the formula to enter to do this. =)
I found it!
For your information, you have to add a "thickness" property related to the thickness of the part.
Then in the cartridge, add an annotation that we link to the "thickness" variable
Which gives: $PRPSHEET:"thickness"

Arf, you've already found your solution. Too bad, I could have saved you from the search if I had come earlier. This is a feature that I use a lot for my BOMs.
I just allow myself to detail the manip a little more if anyone passes by looking for a day ;)
Indeed, you have to create a new property in the 3D. (file, property)
For the Value/Expression field, you select the value you are interested in in your sketches. To do this, you select your sketch, the values appear and all you have to do is choose the right one by clicking on it.
Then you import into your cartridge as Bart indicates
You can also take the heights/widths/lengths of your tubes (mechanically welded element) in the same way to avoid copying errors.
