Variable name as Value

karel_works

Hello There,

I am new to Onshape, I came from Shapr3D, because of much bigger compexity of SW (sadly app is not that good), and I just discovered magic of variables and I really like it a lot,

Now I am working on my own frames, I did quite nice setup for rectangular profiles. And I want to have parametric text in Cut list.

Is it possible to have Column in cut list with Value that is changed regard the dimensions of profile? Can I also change name same way?

I can’t find any solution, of way to write expression, but i tried to type something here in printscreen, to show You what I mean

Thank You for your help:)

Yes, see the reply here:

You have to right click the value input and convert it to an expression input so that it can take variables. The variables still need to output a string value. See the post above for how to do this. Note: you can join strings together with the tilde symbol:

"Profile " ~ toString(#H) ~ " x " ~ toString(#L) ~ " x " ~ toString(#T)
