    Most people are saying hell no but that would be a good feature, so if you are a wizard out there sitting on some secret built in parameter for that please reply!

    Here is the best reply I recieved:


    Itsa toolikit function.



    • ProSolidAccuracyGet()you pass it the model handle, and what type of accuracy (rel/Abs) and it returns the value.


    Toolkit is the licensed API, its a pro/e add-on, plus you need to be a c programmer to prgram with it. There is, however, J-link, the java based version of toolkit thats free. You might be able to have someone write that or something. I personally don't know how to write in java.


    Of course the program could get complicated. The way I described it you'd get the value when you open the part. What if someone changes it the accuracy. The parameter would not update automatically. So now you need to set up a trigger on every regeneration. I do that a lot. I even have triggers set up on window activate, just in case someone did nort regenerage.



    Point i'm making I guess is it is possible. PTC could give you something like mp_mass if they wanted to, if enough people asked for it. If you or someone at your site had themeans to program with j-link, it would certainly be worthwhile.The possibilities are endless what you can do.

    This post solved what I wanted to get in an alternate method:


    If you are using mechanica you can get a list in the info window for all components in an assembly using
    Info > Tolerance Report
