Hello
I'm looking for a way to associate the name of an assembly with the file properties of its parts. Basically something similar to $PRP: "SW-File Name(File Name)", but for the assembly where the part is located. In such a way that when making a BOM, there is information about the assembly in which it is located next to the parts, also when the part is in, for example, two different assemblies.
Hello;
Technically this is possible with MyCad tools:
(sorry, I couldn't find a Polish translation.)
Otherwise it should be achievable by Macro.
On the other hand, it is a practice that I strongly discourage.
- What will happen if a part ends up in two different assemblies or in a sub-assembly?
- How do I manage configurations of the same part in two different assemblies?
I think it's easier to manage this at the filename level.
Like what:
Main Assembly: xxx-0000.sldasm
Which includes:
Assembly = xxx-1000.sldasm
Subassembly = xxx-1100.sldasm
Sub-assembly part: xxx-1101.sldprt
And for common parts: xxx-0001.sldprt
with +1000 increment for assemblies
with +0100 increment for subassemblies
with +0001 increment for parts
Kind regards.
