dear Jakub,

thanks for sharing the information.

by the way right now i am stuck with my table for Bill of Material.

i want my table can give me or define the size or dimension of the model in my 3D mold design automatically.

so i think it will reduce much of my design time process, so far i fill my BOM table manually one by one.

for example for Core Insert : i want my table can define/retrieve --> lengthx width x height.

or for Core Pin : diameter x lenght.

please kindly share the next step of no.2

thanks and regards,

Jocka

hi Joko,

I feel your pain, i wrote plenty of bom tables while measuring all the models in assembly and rewriting the numbers there manually. I wish i knew how to automate this process in ProE as well.

I am still in the process of reading a bunch of manuals for ProE and when i am done, which is gonna be in about forever, i ll try to figure this thing out.

For step 2:

Theres some kind of module called EMX (expert moldbase extension) which is what i didnt get to try yet.
