Configuring cable weight via FeatureScript: override mass directly, or override material density?
I'm building a FeatureScript feature to configure cables & tubes (many different types). For each cable type we know the weight per unit length (kg/m), the cross-sectional area, and the length — from which the total weight follows directly. My question: what's the better approach for getting the correct weight on the part…
Set Property (New Custom Feature!) 🆕
Set Property (New Custom Feature!) Set Property allows you to: * Dynamically set the properties of your part or multiple parts. * Set custom properties. Tips: * Custom property ID's are found in your company settings. * Right click on any value input to convert it to expression. This means you can use variables to drive…
Making a bend for an extruded object
I made this model and would like to bend it for 45 and 90 degrees left or right. Is there a way to bend an extruded part similar to what the loft functions do? Thank you in advance!
Is there a way to prohibit including properties for Derived parts at a company level?
I waste a lot of time removing duplicate names and part numbers from Derived parts that my coworkers have made. We have no use case for having multiple parts with the same name and part number.
Can the "subassembly BOM behaviour" property be overridden for a particular category?
By default, the subassembly BOM behavior is always set to include part For welded assemblies or other joined assemblies, we would like to have a category where the behavior is set to show assembly only. Is there a way to do this?
How to make sure part property changes made from an assembly BOM stick?
My company added a new Customer-Facing-Name property for parts, so I'm having to edit the properties for hundreds of parts. I started doing it from the BOM of a top level assembly to save time. However, I noticed after moving on to another assembly (which shares parts) that some of the parts I had already given Customer…
Can FeatureScript use a document name to set part attributes?
I recently made a FeatureScript to help color code parts according to a company SOP. It basically has a drop down of the part type and then sets the appearance of the part accordingly. Is it possible to have FeatureScript read the name of a document (the documents this would apply to all follow a strict naming procedure)…
Adding volume as a custom property?
Back in January, mass was finally added as automatically computed property. It seems like other properties can be added through FeatureScript. I want to add part volume as a custom property which can then be added to standard drawing notes. How do I do that? Is there a standard way to do this?
