both text and dimension in a relation

[FredrikIversen]

Hello

We have a parameter for the dimension. We call it "dim_drawn" and it shows in the drawing.

I want to show this in the drawing "30x20 L=100"

"30x20 L=" types manually but I want have 100 automatically from the model.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Is the 100 coming from a parameter? Have you tried &parameter_name, where that is the name of the parameter you are using?

[Dale_Rosema]

Or if it is coming from a dimension, you could use &d32 where that is the name of the dimension that you are getting the value. To get the name from the part or assembly, go to Info->SwitchDimension and the dimensions will now show with the dimension names instead of the values. Hope either of these helps. Dale

If it's a model dim, you can also edit the dim properties and add the "30x20 L=" test to the dim itself. Then it'll show in the model and the drawing.

If I understand you correctly, the parameter 'DIM_DRAWN' is what gives you the dimension, in this case 100.

So to get a note to show "30x20 L=100" , you would type:

30x20 L=&DIM_DRAWN[.0]

The '[.0]' part makes it show the value of the parameter with 0 decimal places. If you wanted 100.0, you would put '[.1]'

I hope this helps

Cheers,

John

I mean like this.

We type the sizes in this parameter, for example 30x20 L=100

In the drawing it would show 30x20 L=100 in the bom-list.

I want to type "30x20 L=" manually and get the 100 from the model (its the length of the part, for example d4)

I would do this in som flexible parts that only varies in the length. Then it always would be correct dimension in the bom-list.

I hope you understand

Try this relation:

Dimmensions in model:

A=30 (parameter or dimmension from model)

B=20 (parameter or dimmension from model)

D3= dimmension of lenght (variable)

Relation:

PARAMATER="L_profile "+itos(A)+"x"+itos(B)+"; L="+itos(D3)

Result after regeneration:

PARAMETER=L_profile 30x20; L=500

Than call PARAMETER in your BOM.

Legend:

1) ITOS == convert INTEGER to STRING

2) "string text" == write general text between QUOTATION MARK

3) don´t forget input + mark betwwen

TIP:

If you need more space between letter put +" "+ it will make a free space.

Hope it will help you...

Thank you.

That´s exactly what I want.
