I would like to show the sheetmetal thickness on my drawing IF the part is a sheetmetal part. I can do this by starting a "startpart" that has already be defined as a sheetmetal part, pass the parameter within relations and then call it out on the drawing.
But there is aways a reason to swtich from a standard model to a sheetmetal model after it is created. Before the part is defined as a sheetmetal model SMT_THICKNESS = YES. When you change the part to sheetmetal it equals zero or whatever the thickness is. The problem comes when you have to pass it within relations to get it to show up on the drawing. The ralations fail if it is a standard model so I can't have the parameter passed unless it is a sheetmetal model. I tryed to place an "IF" statement around the passing line but IF SMT_THICKNESS "YES" does not work. I tried "TRUE" and other cobinations but nothing works. Please help.
Here is what I wanted:
IF smt_thickness "YES"
metal_thickness = smt_thickness
endif
