Rename values in Publisher part family

3D Design Volume Model

Hello everyone,

Here's my little problem, I'm in the process of creating a library of standard components and to make things easier I want to use the configuration via Publisher.

in my example an M20 nut with a bore of 17.5 (thread or representation of thread suppressed)

all my dimensions (nut height, width, etc.) are linked to the drilling Ø which is parent.

Everything works but for the sake of clarity my nut choice drop-down menu shows me the drilling Ø (17.5) and I would like it to be 2 written M20 instead without losing the 17.5

Hello

Question Why use Publisher for nuts, you have a maximum of 10 refs. Personally I have a library with my 10 nuts, it's simpler and faster because when you put a nut or duplicate  it you don't have the sheet to fill in each time.

may the force be with you.

OBI WAN, you should move on to 2017 there are some nice new features in sheet metal in the 2017 and already bcp in 2016.

Why, bad experience with SP1 & 2???

We can't read the images properly to really understand

They should be attached

Otherwise, if I understood correctly, the idea is to be able to play M5, M6, ... in the publisher Manager in the header

For me, a first solution is to create a config-specific property.

Example, "Description" and then integrate it into the part family.

11

You can then put the description in the header of Publisher

There I filled in a property for 3 element of the family of parts, Piece A, Piece B and Piece C

I was able to retrieve this property from the Publisher listings
