Configuration Name Property

3D Design Volume Model
1

Hello

I'd just like to display the configuration name in the configuration specific properties table.

I created a new line with the name "No.Plan". in the type I put "Text".

What "Value/Text Expression" do I need to fill in for the evaluated value to display the configuration name?

 

Thank you very much for your help.

 It's the same question as:

If the goal is to retrieve this information in the drawing, you can do so directly in the drawing, without going through a property.

 

Edit: See you on the original question.

yes it's the same ^me question.

The goal is to be able to retrieve this information in a nomenclature in excel format.

Ralph, do you have the mycad users?

No, I don't.

It's surprising because I manage to recover the volume with: "SW-Volume@@essai2014@essai2014.SLDPRT"

but not the name of the config that we should be able to retrieve with "SW-Name of the configuration@@essai2014@essai2014. SLDPRT"

If in each config you get instead of the File Name the Name of the config, is that okay with you?

@Ralph the "SW-config name...... " you typed it by hand while the Volume you chose it in a list so it's logical.

No, I can't change the File Name and  the Configuration Name in this way because we use several types of BOMs internally.

I need to create this new "No.Plan" property that shows me this config name.

Personally I'm "dry".

Apart from making you pay for the Smartproperties utility (99€)

I don't see how to do it.

Maybe via a macro but then we have to see with @Lucas Prior

 

Sorry!!!!

Hello

 

The solution I proposed in the other question is appropriate:

 

The easiest way is to create a part family: an Excel file controls the part configurations.

 

It is thus very easy by copying and pasting to create a custom property that has the name of the configuration.

 

To create a part family:

http://www.lynkoa.com/store/fr/tutos-formations/formations/famille-de-pi...

 

To manage properties in a room family:

http://www.lynkoa.com/store/fr/tutos-formations/tutos/creer-des-propriet...

 

 

In the part family, simply create a column that starts with $PROPRIETE@ example:

 

$PROPRIETE@config_name

 

And copy the name of the configuration into the column.

 

This will create the property for each configuration.

 

 

 

 

If you want, send me your piece and I'll do it.

Hello

I don't know if that's what you want, but I think you should put a description for the configurations and retrieve it in your BOM table. You can also retrieve the name of the config or the name of the part (parameter to be defined in the properties of the configurations when they are created. This way you can have several BOM models with or without the description taken into account.

I am attaching screenshots of images and a table template.

Kind regards

I succeeded by filling:

$PRP:"SW-Configuration Name" works.

 

Thank you all.
