Question

Getting partial parameter name from string value of other parameter

Hi, all

I have this problem as follows:

I have a sheet metal part, with bend and unbend state. In the part drawing, at the unbend state view I create ordinate dimensions where one of dimensions can be defined as unbend length dimension. This dimension name begin begin with string "oad" and followed by an ID number (let's say the value is "123"). So, the dimension name defined as "oad123".

So far I have created parameter udn = ID_number (string value), and then I got stuck on how I include the value as a partial name of unbend length dimension.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Agit Ariffiandi‌

    If i understand your problem,you can extract value of parameter with extract() function ( in relations )

    Exemple ( see screenshot 😞

    UDN=oad123

    UDN_VALUE=extract(UDN,4,3)

    The first number is the start position, the 2nd is the number of charaters to extract

    Hope this help you

    Hi, Vincent

    I think you misunderstood my explanation of the problem. Let me detail it below:


    I have this sheet metal part that its unbend state as shown in the drawing as below:Capture1.JPG

    If we toggle the dimension will be pictured as below:

    Capture3.JPG

    So, The unbend length dimension is 505.81 mm or can be described as parameter "oad216", where the "216" string value is equal udn. This value will be entered manually.


    Now I have many sheet metal parts in an assembly, where I would like to insert all unbend length dimensions into a repeat region with some rules:


    udn = ID_number (entered manually per each part), and

    udv = "oad(udn)"


    So, This "udv = oad(udn)" part that i would like to ask to all of you: How can I insert the value of udn as partial name of udv parameter?


    Regards,


    Agit

    Martin & Vincent,

    Thanks for your reply.

    It's almost there, leaving the problem of how we could inserted the value of udv = "oad216" (string) into a parameter name oad216 = 515.81 (real value).

    Any solution on this matter?

    Agit
