Question

How to export boundary box dimensions in Modelcheck?

Hey all - this is my first post on this board. I come here with the hopes of gaining some knowledge! I have a rather large assembly and I am looking to export the boundary box dimensions of each individual part in a table with the columns of length | width | height. I have found the "overall size" or boundary box information in model check for all of the parts but I can't seem to find out how to export these rather than scroll through the built in web browser of Creo. Any help on this? Is there an easier way to do this aside from Modelcheck?

    If all you want to do is view the values of the overall size of the items, then create a table on a drawing of the assembly with a repeat region and use asm... mbr... then User Defined and enter mc_size

    This will list, in one cell on your table the size of the models.

    If you want to split it out into x y and z components it will become a little more complicated!

    e.g.

    repeatregion2.png

      I was looking to export the x, y, z into individual cells but I will probably be able to export the mc_size list as a .csv file and work some excel wizardry on it to split them up.

      EDIT: mc_size doesn't work for me. Does this have to be a parameter in each part?
