Hello
In a drawing: I would like to know if it is possible to have an annotation, or any other way to note the total mass of a material in an assembly, but only for a category of part (category differentiated by a custom property).
Thank you very much!
Hello
There is nothing automatic to my knowledge, but the three solutions I can think of are:
- Have the material appear in a nomenclature, and make subtotals for each subject with equations:

- Make configurations where only the parts appear in a material and display the nomenclature of this configuration
- Use the selection filters (or advanced selection) to display only the parts of a material, select all, and display the weight (but I'm not sure if it works):

Otherwise, you have to make a macro, but you have to know the VBA programming.
I agree with the pl proposals, for my part I prefer the 2nd solution.
