Hello,
I am exploring the piping option to use in our assemblies. Because we are working with a PLM system (Windchill), I need to embed the pipe pieces created with the piping option. Otherwise each little piece of pipe will get an article number in Windchill.
What I would like to get is for the assembly that contains the embedded parts, to get a parameter: materialcode & length for each type of pipe used.
Any other ideas are welcome as well. The moral of the story is: The pipes are embedded but I want to be able to extract the materialcode and length of each type used, regardless of the amount of pipe pieces.
Are there possibilities here? All I can find is a little menu that can tell me the length of certain pipes and store it, but it's not extractable nor does it update.
