Back when we upgraded to WF2,we found that the PRO_MP_VOLUME parameter eliminated the need for any relations; however, the Generate Report button in the Edit~Setup~Mass Props dialog box needed to be selected in order to sync the value you see on the drawing versus the value you would see from doing a model mass props via the Model Analysis. Not a particularly obvious solution to the problem. Regardless,
Our solution was to edit the Pro/Program in the start part (and edit exisiting parts as the opportunity presents itself) and include a line between MASSPROP and END MASSPROP at the end of the Pro/Program, for example if the part # is xyz it would be:
MASSPROP
PART xyz (Can be done w/ assemblies syntax is ASSEMBLY xyz)
END MASSPROP
The "xyz" updates fine with renames and save a copy.
We do not use the config option mentioned by Brandon for the same reasons he stated.
<u>Now, the drawback to the method I mentioned is that the UNDO functionality istoast after you regenerate (doesn't affect intent manager UNDO).</u>
Just use the &pro_mp_volume[.x] (x being the sig digits) in a note or in a format cell to report the value.
Other than the UNDO issue, it works fine.
In Reply to John Scranton:
We are having a problem getting the volume note on a drawing to update with the changes to the part model.
The process we have followed is as follows:
1. Calculate the mass properties for the part
2. Create a string parameter called VOLUME
3. Write a relation: VOLUME = MP_VOLUME(" ")
4. Create a note on the drawing: volume = &volume IN@+3@#
This is reporting a value but it is incorrect as compared to the model
We are using WF2.0
Can someone offer a solution please?
