automatic calculation sheet size flattened in pdmsolidworks

[stefano_71]

Good morning.
working in the sheet industry I found myself in the daily need to report the sheet size developed in flat repetition in the drawing board and the file properties that are subsequently managed by the pdm.
I have been told that they cannot be extrapolated by the pdm, if they do not carry out specific "macros" developed by specialized technicians "solidworks".
my doubt arises from the fact that the sheet size is the daily bread of those who work in this sector and it seemed strange to me that they could not be extrapolated in a simple way (I have been indicated other roads through sketches that delimit the flat repetition from which to obtain the dimensions quotandoli etc...).
Have any of you had similar experiences?

Thank you.

really to the creation of the sheet is compiled in the separate cut the voice area of delimitation

Thanks to the right, I check on Monday at work, but this gives me the size of the sheet on the x and y axis, so that it can be inserted into the properties of the file that passes to the pdm, or does it give me the sheet area alone?
the information I have to pass to the pdm is the x sides (which then identifies the side of the sheet satining) and the y side of this data will then have to be passed to the management company to issue the production bubbles.
Thank you.

you from length, width, area to other information see image (the odds I put as a match to show you that the data correspond is not connected to the properties)

perfect and this data is also managed by pdm as thick? If that were the "problem" would be solved. Monday I make a test....thanks again:finger:b

never used a pdm

Good morning,

I did a verification on a file and it actually gives me the data I was looking for, only that these data are related to the properties of the cut distinction and if they copy in the mask of the properties of the file do not bring the same result as in the separate cut the result is actually the measurement of the side while in the properties of the file the result is the text of the expression ("sw-length contour@sheet<1>@parte1.sldprt"...

Does this mean that I can't connect the properties of the separate cut to the properties of the file?

Thank you.

I have no idea
I'll give you a link with a lot of macros where you might find what you need http://www.cadsharp.com/macros/then there is this discussion that might be useful to you https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/76454it is always useful to do a search on the forum of solidworks (via google just enter as search string the terms in English followed by site:forum.solidworks.com For example, property cut at property file site:forum.solidworks.com)
