bodies/parts dimensions

[danliri]

Good morning.
I ask you if this is possible:

modeling both in part and together I often have the need to have separate bodies/parts.
a simple delta x,y,z of volume. is there any automatic property that allows you to do this?

Since sw calculates in mathematics the calculation of volume and surface, surely knows the developments in the 3dimensions of the elements.
how to pull them out and make them people a distinct one?

Thank you.

the novamacut of bologna (reseller sw) a few years ago showed me a macro that satisfied precisely this need. Now I don't know if the macro is available among the myriads available from the network.
Hi.

 

[re_solidworks]

for the parts you should look here: http://www.cad3d.it/forum1/showthread.php?t=15482&highlight=volume&page=2for the bodies I don't know, you should create an ad hoc macro, but I can't help you.

the link of re_solidworks is perfect.
In parallel I had done a research and found the same things.
I did some tests and works (in its limits) on parts/ multi body and assemblies

I bring back what I had prepared

boundinghttp://solidworkstips.com/content/index.php/macrosI've done some evidence for my curiosity.
- always extracts a parallelepiped oriented according to the main plans(*); Therefore it is not as intelligent as you could claim but at least it is immediately usable.
- works on assemblies and parts (*)
- adds a line with the newly calculated parallelepiped in the properties

shareware file is paid (the trial version has expired on the birth). as regards the macro at the link indicated by re_solidworks, as well as not working with elements placed on a terna other than the default one, does not generate three different properties, but only one with the three values. I also pose a problem, which is that of the fact that in some cases it should be done so that the three dimensions had a specific order as the indication of a measure before the others could in some cases decide some technical/ethical characteristics (in my field almost always). :wink:
I solved all these problems (scervellandomi not little), which in few seem to understand to the bottom, already several years ago.
is not a macro but are 3 clicks and in a few cases 3 clicks + a very simple sketch.
only who is really interested can contact me privately. I don't want to, but who has my own problem could find the pappa made and... let you imagine. Sorry again...:redface:

thanks for the tips,
I tried various macros, including boundingboxes.
the problem is that once the encumbrance is "freed", and a later size change is not recorded.

current use of quotas entered as annotation, recalled in the properties of the document. This way by changing the part, the encumbrance automatically updates me.

what I'm looking for is something that doesn't weigh this operation, I try to search on the net if I find some more flexible macros
