Sheet metal: bend radius in drawing. Double dims.

Sheet metal: bend radius in drawing. Double dims.

Hello, everyone.

 

This is the topic: I have sheet metal parts that can be created in mm or inches.

 

For drawings, we have double dimensions: mm and in. I would like to have a table showing:

Column_1                   Column_2

Bend radius:              xx.x mm (yy.y in)

Material thickness:     xx.x mm (yy.y in) 

Where: xx.x and yy.y are called by parameters. yy.y would only be xx.x times 25.4 (or viceversa).

 

To take in consideration:

  1. I have a parameter that is unit sensitive already set up called "Conversion", which tells me the length units: mm or in, under the column "Unit".
  2. Those can be 2 different tables: one table for parts/drawings in "mm", and for parts/drawings in "in".

Then:

  1. How to setup a relation that makes the conversion between them depending on the units?
    1. As I know it's possible to set up relations using "if" and "else".
  2. Considering that for repeat regions it's possible to set up a parameter unit sensitive and call for its units using &asm.mbr.ptc_unit.'my_parameter', is this something I can reuse?

 

Help is very appreciated.

Regards.
