pro e volume parameter

[omarhernandez]

I am trying to inserta (reported mass properties) parameter for volume in a family table (PRO_MP_VOLUME). I don't think that this is possible. I can probably use a relation to set the value of a user created parameter equal to the pro e default parameter. Has anyone ever done this before?


vol_user = pro_mp_volume, vol_user = mp_volume("")


The only problem is that the parameters never are set to the volume of the part.


Thanks,


Omar

Here is an option:

Create an analysis feature with mass properties.
Analysis/Model/Mass Properties
Change it from "quick" to "feature" and select preview.
Then you can select the volume check box in the feature tab. Give it a name before you finish... VOLUME, for instance. Now create a relation like so:
volume=volume:FID_VOLUME

You can insert the relation into the family table and verify it. The volume numbers will show up in the table.

You will get this warning when you regenerate:
*Relation volume=volume:FID_VOLUME override family table values of instance

Each instance will report their own "volume" parameter, so if you can work with it without putting it in your family table, I'd try that.

Hope this helps,
