Hi all
I would like to know if it is possible to retrieve the " DESCRIPTION " welded part property to include it in a custom property, with us " Part Description"?
The goal let me explain:
We do a lot of multi-body welded construction workpiece, but we are asked to draw up a flow sheet for the workshop with one body per sheet. So far we manage rather well with the body selection function. Today I would like to make our parts in assembly mode and not multibody, hence the interest in retrieving the body information welded in the properties in order to automatically fill the part cartridge alone.
Hello
There's a magic function for that: recording bodies.
Inserting > Functions> Save bodies...
This feature will not only allow you to create part files for each of the welded bodies, copy the welded parts list properties to the new parts as properties of the file, but also allow you to create part files for each of the welded parts.
… but also to reconstitute the assembly of your welded mechanic.
The idea is therefore to continue the design in a (more suitable) part file and generate the part files for your flow plans. Assembly is optional (not useful in my opinion).
Enjoy!

Wouldn't we be cousins?

Indeed there would be a little resemblance 
, except that there is one that looks nice

I do know this manip that I tested of course.
The flaw is that if you add a body after the Save bodies function, it's screwed.
The idea of going into part mode is also to be able to reuse these parts in other assemblies and so the plan for this unique part is already done.
It's not really a flaw, since you just have to raise the recovery bar before the Save Bodies function.
Otherwise, you can try mapping the custom property to the body property welded with $PRPWLD.
What do you mean by mapping property?
Well no sorry, this idea must also be forgotten: this method does not work with all properties.
You can map a personal property with the LENGTH@@@élément of soudé@Part1 part, and other quantity, material... but for the Description strangely it doesn't work.
Hello Silver_Surfer,
Indeed there is a family resemblance... @+.
