Retrieve a Welded Parts List Property from Part Properties

Hello

I have properties in a list of welded parts, see below:

I want to bring some of these properties back into the custom properties of my file. I managed to do it for the length property which is a property directly from Solidworks, but I can't do it on the Description property which is a property from a family of parts, see below:

I then want to put this information in a nomenclature but without displaying the bodies present in each file (we do not use multibodies).

Do you have a solution for this?

Thank you in advance.

Hello

 

It is possible to automatically duplicate the properties of a mechanically welded body to the properties of the document using the myCADtools "Integration" tool.

 

Here is a video presentation of the tool: https://help.visiativ.com/mycadtools/2022/fr/Integration.html

 

You can then use the "SmartBOM" tool to create bills of materials: https://help.visiativ.com/mycadtools/2022/fr/SmartBom.html

Hello

Your solution works very well, but however I am looking for something "dynamic" if we change the profile I would like it to change on my drawing without having to carry out an intervention on "Integration".

I hope it's possible.

 

Hello

Look at my part, in the configuration specific properties there is "designation" which follows depending on the modification of the part.  Is that what you want to do?

Hello

No, it's not quite that, because my name doesn't only evolve according to dimension, but the overall shape of the profile can also change and therefore the description too.

I would like to have only one model part for all the types of profile we use and that the description changes according to the configuration chosen.

Well, the only other way I know is to make a configuration of each type of profile and then to make derived configurations according to the lengths because I have never managed to recover this property unless maybe by macro...

Hello

I do have configurations for each type of profile, but I don't want to configure the lengths (I never have two the same...).

This property must be recoverable, Solidworks manages to use it to name the body.

Hello

I'm still stuck on my problem, yet Solidworks finds the description to name the body (see attachments), but I can't find the right syntax to retrieve it in my properties.

Does anyone have any information to help me?

Thank you in advance.
