Hi all,
We're almost exclusively a sheet metal operation, still stuck on WF2.0. I'd like to accomplish 2 things (perhaps one belongs in a different forum, if so, apologies): First, I'd like to have a user prompted when creating a new part for the sheet metal gauge (which woud then drive the model material thickness and density), and I'd like that info to automatically populate the correct location in the drawing format.Second, I'd like the title block and mat'l thickness to automatically update if the sheet metal gauge changes.
We'd like a smart parameter that gets entered once whena part is started, and thereafter drives the title block and material thickness. This functionality could be built into a start part if that's the answer - some folks here use start parts, others don't. It could be part of a mapkey which selects the correct start part. I'm sure one way works best - so I'm looking for someone who has already done this.
I have searched PTC.com as well as this site for the answer to my question, unfortunately I have had no luck. Anyone out there doing this (or something like this)?
Thanks in advance,
