I have a problem that I encounter when inserting a list of welded parts in a drawing.
It's the first time I've seen that, so I'm asking you.
Since the 2016 version, I get this when I insert this list. (see image)
FYI, it's a standard welded construction with tubes all identical in description.
Some descriptions are good, others are not. Why, that's the question =)
And in the summary of properties, everything is in order while we can see that the values evaluated do not correspond to the values indicated.

Hi @ Bart
Are you using a version that works................................... pretty much well ;-)
well OK I'm going out............................... and I hide in ................................... my hole ;-)
@+ ;-)
So, I say to myself. What if I used MyCadServices using SmartBom as the salesman tells me. "It's a magic tool that does the nomenclature for you"
I launch it, I choose my file, I validate. And NOTHING ..... :/
And inevitably, my MyCAD test ends tonight.....
I really understand that to my cad. Yet I read the tutorials...
Hello Bart.
It's "funny", from what I saw, it's like if one tube works well and the other doesn't.
Maybe it's stupid what I'm going to say: but when you go to your E2(4), does the D1 rating exist? The same goes for the D3 rating? Wouldn't they simply change their name?
Well, what's weird is that the welded construction was done in one go with the same profile in several groups, but always the same profile which comes from the same file etc etc...
Then we can see that he goes to look for the right coast, but instead of naming it correctly, he puts the full name of the coast rather than its value.
If you try to make a function by group rather than a function with lots of groups, does it do the same thing to you?
In general, if he puts the full name of the call number instead of the value, it is because it is badly transcribed (a typo, capital letter, plus or minus space, etc.)
And the only difference I see is the (3) or (4)
I just tried to make several bands (yes, I never do any! I find it simpler. In short)
So, when I go to look for the name of the rating, it's the same for all the profiles. You should have something like "D1@Esquisse11" and not the full name of the room
If you see the name of your dimension in your sketch and replace it in your property table, doesn't it get any better? (you select the sketch without going into it and then you hover your mouse over the desired dimension
All the sketches have the same rib name.
It's not me who transcribes the dimensions in the property table, but solidworks and fortunately!^^
The (3) and (4) is the item number
Basically, it's just a big bug of Sw 2016, but what bothers me is that I try with mycadservices and it doesn't do anything at all, so I don't understand what mycad is for^^
A little help would not be refused... =)
Was this set created under SW 2016 or earlier?
If you make another sketch in this mechanical part, with the same profile, won't SW update everything. Then you delete the sketch you just created to find your initial project.
For smartbom, it will output the nomenclature you want, but you do have to set it up. (and don't forget to save your settings somewhere, because when the hotline reinstalls a version because you have a PB, you lose all the settings. A bit like sw actually)
Wow, I'm out of financial means for MyCad!
For smartbom you have to set up these 2 windows
The 1st (BOM creation tab) you need to add columns with the properties to retrieve (description, file name, material, length...)
The 2nd tab (project management has) with the type of documents to be processed (for you to check mechanically weld file)
Then the property value and desired options.
And don't hesitate to try it out as you go.
And then you can customize the original excel file of the nomenclature.
With us, the excel file is composed as follows:
The 1st tab retrieves all the properties of the different parts of an assembly.
The following tabs sort the lines of the 1st tab into several categories according to property (Mecha or cutting parts or FI) and this then allows us to sort our plans and transmit all the manufacturing and industrial supply lines to our production management software
Hello
It seems like it's a buggy band. Have you tried to delete it and put it back?
The whole thing was made in 2016 so no compatibility issues.
For the mini smartbom tutorial I'm looking at it this afternoon.
And for the band that bugs, same I'll see that this afternoon.
For now I have removed the column and entered the description by hand.
I'll get back to you as soon as I've seen all these points =)
Meci guys!
Well after several tries, I always get the same result....
The list takes the description without evaluating the values. See image.
Don't you have that?!
Hello, I have followed all the indications you have proposed and nothing works for my case. I don't know if any of these answers work for Bart. I'm open to all answers. Thank you for your help.
@Emanuptt55_1 if you're in the 2016 version too, I think it's an uncorrected bug in SP2 and that you need to download the SP version that came out yesterday as soon as possible!
