Linear Meter Bill of Materials and Solidworks PDM / PLM Manage

Hello

This question must have already been asked, but I can't find anything on the forum with the keywords used

 

for an equipment I use chains to support elements

This chain can be bought by the linear metre: example

6 sections of chain ERP code 8182.8384 4.6 meters long

4 chain sections ERP code 8182.8384 3.6 meters long

how in the drawing, the PDM and Manage, can I have the lengths in the nomenclature?

Unfortunately, I can't create an article code by length, because the ERP only knows the chain to the meter.

Thank you for your help

Hello, do you have access to a property comment? When the chain is bought it is a length, so in quantity it is a fraction of what you bought (1/4,1/8 etc)

Thank you for your answer

We buy it in length segments

example

The item code for the string is xxxx.xxxx and we buy pre-cut pieces of it from A; b; c or d long under the same code

Alas, not "a 20m roll" that we cut on the spot

So we get away with virtual articles

they are put in nomenclature with a "Linear Meter" unit, which is later modified

the only problem at the moment is that when we make a copy of the tree the QTEs are reforced to 1

Huge source of crashes.
Dassault says it's a bug:

"Following the return from Dassault there is a Bug Number for this problem. SPR 529543 - 'Maintain modified quantities in the EPDM BOM when using copy tree.'"
