Question

Feature parameter and a family table

  • July 8, 2010

I have a drawing with a couple of holes done as a cut and only available
on half of the documented instances in the drawing table, so I thought I
would create a feature parameter with the expectation when the value was
shown in the drawing table for the number of holes it will switch from 2
to a dash, but nothing is showing. Does anyone know what I am screwing
up?

Thanks,

Brian....some thoughts that may help? Is the feature param in the Table or did you create a model level param with a relation driving the value from the feature param? Is your draw table cell looking for &fam.inst.param.value for the instance? Is the table cell filtered with the rule &fam.inst.param.name==your_model_param?

JPEG of the drawing table.



I just verified that the parameter name and the filter match, just so you
know.
