add properties from a txt

[emanuele grasso]

Hi.
but how do you do from a txt with these three data height, width, depth to put them already of type length?
when I load the properties with the button "add external properties" I charge these three properties but type string, I would like to make sure that I already loaded them with type length
Thank you.

you have to write "mm" after the number
example: 10.5mm
or 10deg if it is an angle

but do you mean properties already added?
I'll set you up a screen of my properties on txt

 

[Vittorio]

you can do nothing if you don't change them
in the future if you create a text file with writing:
material
Supplier
in stock
Height 0mm
width 0mm
depth 0mm

depth width height will pass you as length variables
all other string variables

Thank you very much

Hi.
I have another question,
before generating the file with the crude is there a way to verify that all formulas are connected to the correct parameter? I explain better: when I make a plate made in part I give it the 3 sizes to save in 3 different properties.. made for a fact for everyone
the thing however changes when I make a sheetmetal sheet which dimensions are given by the open sheet (command "screw in floor" of sheetmetal) which however change from one sheet to another.. In fact to attach the dimensions of encumbrance to the properties I create a body that contains a prism that is superimposed to the developed sheet and from attaching its size to the formulas..I usually make a sheet of departure with all the parameters and then if I have to create another I make paste copy interrupt connection, I delete the folds and keep only the wall. At that point the cad tells me that the connections between the encumbrances of the solid and the properties broke. .
Is there a way to get this information about the parameters and indicate which component has the connection of the broken properties?
I ask this because I would like to avoid generating an excel with the wrong dimensions.

Thank you very much

Hi.
I honestly didn't understand much from your explanation and I don't even have sheetmetal licenses.
My question is:
how do you calculate the size of the body that simulates the developed sheet?
Did you do a macro or enter them manually?

 

[emanuele grasso]

If you don't have the sheetmetal license, how do you make the sheets? It is true you could do it in part but it is very Moroccan and long
answering your question : once the sheet is finished, I do the command "develop in the floor" and in a new body I save the sketch that makes from the perimeter of the sheet (at this flat point), quoto the sketch, I take the reference quotas and attack those quotas to the properties so as to vary the sheet, varies the development on the floor and consequently the dimensions of the

 

[emanuele grasso]

the problem is not to do the sketch in a new leotard because it takes 20 seconds but to make sure that the new component, made with interrupted connection from the starting one, has correct quotas and not of what from which you have copied and interrupted connection.
if you have 2 sheets the control of the encumbrance you do it before generating the excel; but if you have 10 sheets this control I would like it to be done automatically and that the cad indicates which parameter has the broken connection and therefore which share of which component is not correct
I hope my speech is understandable because I recognize that it is not easy to explain but above all to understand
Thank you.

If I don't have sheetmetal it's because I don't make sheets. :
Yes, I understand your problem now, but I'm not able to help you.
But I would marry her from here.. the application is not relevant to the title of the discussion
there is no scheetmetal section.. .but at least creates a discussion that calls sheetmetal
Maybe find someone who knows how to do it.
