Weight Calculation in Parameters to Drawings

Weight Calculation in Parameters to Drawings

I am trying to set it up so that it automatically calculates the weight as a parameter once you set the material. Then when you make a drawing, it is automatically linked to the parameter weight. If you make any changes I want the weight to automatically update in the model and drawing.

The pro_mp_mass only seems to work if you generate a report. I believe this is intentional for ram reasons, but functionally doesn't work.

I am trying to get around this by making a relation, along the lines of

Weight(parameter) = volume(from mass properties) * density(from material properties)

Then I link to the drawing table using &weight

Can anyone help me out with this?

Before trying to create a relation try setting the config.pro option mass_property_calculate. When you regenerate the model the PRO_MP_MASS parameter is updated.
