Nickul Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Hi, I'm using the dynamic part naming quite a bit now. is there a way to reference the shell thickness. I get I could do this by creating a parameter and then linking the shell thickness to this and then referencing this parameter in the part name but can you do it natively? i.e. just by typing =Shape2\ShellFeature\Thickness into the description field I've had a look through the API docs to see whether I could spot any clues but to no avail I want to reference the size of box section, i.e. I'm after "50x50x3 Box" and then I can list the length of the section in a separate column in my BOM.

Cary OConnor Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Shape2\Shelling\ShellingThickness The Shape2 is the path to the shell feature. The Shelling\ShellingThickness is the variable. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickul Posted April 27, 2023 Author Share Posted April 27, 2023 this has caught me out recently, =Shape1\Sizebox\Width & " x " & Shape1\Sizebox\Length & “ x ” & Shape3\Shelling\ShellingThickness & " Box" =Shape1\Sizebox\Width & " x " & Shape1\Sizebox\Length & " x " & Shape3\Shelling\ShellingThickness & " Box" look carefully at the two strings. I was constructing these in Word (bad idea) and the quotation marks for the second x are the wrong character, they must be a different ASCII code. Its very subtle on this font here, in Word its more pronouced, but they are "stylised". IronCAD does not recognise these. Solution was to just filter it through notepad to change the quotes to the basic ones. Is there a way to access the "Individual Face Thickness" under the shelling thickness ? , I've tried Shape3\Shelling\ShellingThickness1 etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgjang Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Hi. If you want your BOM table to look like this, this is a simple solution. MODEL_SIZE.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
