parametric attributes to the faces of a solid

[simlaz]

Hello everyone


using moldwizard and preparing the standard parts, I need to assign to the faces of the solid that represents the seat (false) an attribute whose value is parametric, with the need to transfer this value to the faces of the part that I go to cut with pocket design.

I tried to create an expression with the desired value and to create an attribute to the "reference" face linked to the said expression. the value of the face attribute is correctly updated according to the value of the expression but this attribute does not move after generating the seat with the pocket design command.

I'd be grateful if you could give me some indication.
Thank you.

explains in detail the purpose of your problem.
I have as the impression that it is not a mw problem from modeling settings

Hi.

use Moldovawizard and pocket design to obtain the seat through the specially prepared parts.

I need to transfer information to the faces obtained through cutting. I thought of doing so with attributes assigned to the faces of the solid of the seat of the standard part, attributes that then move to the cut part.
the problem is that the value of these attributes must be parametric, they must vary according to the configuration of the part standard.
I then tried to create an appropriate expression whose value is linked to the configuration and the affected face I created a reference attribute connected to the value of the above expression.

Unfortunately this reference attribute is not transmitted with the cut. you give only string attributes.

Am I wrong?

Thank you.

I understood the concept, but I needed to understand specifically what attribute and what parameters you need to transfer, maybe there are other ways.

for that I asked the final purpose of the action

 

[simlaz]

Okay.

the intention is to transfer to the cut face a representative code of the processing corresponding to that place. I would like to be able to access that code directly through text-->relationship-->object attribute.

in the workshop must be able to easily identify from the design the code corresponding to the processing to be performed. ps-is not available pc on board machine.

Thank you.

I did a test with nx6

effectively as rightly asserts the cut face attribute does not follow.

But it sounds strange that you should associate this value with an expression.
I think I have to work e.g. the column seats say that the column hole is h7, while for the head seat I have an increase of 0.5 .
assuming that you call the first processing with cod c234 and 2à with cod c235
the type of processing does not change me to change the size, so I can leave the fixed parameter.
or is this passage that escapes me and depending on the type of standard part you have different jobs?

excuse me but it is a niche product and what you ask is quite specific.

Hi.

Thank you for your concern, I'm appreciating it.

actually the problem is exactly this: according to the standard part and its configurations I have different codes and the attribute I would like to pass must be updated accordingly.
possible that you can not do otherwise? ? ?

I don't know how complex the standard part you're creating is, but I'm offering you an escamotage.
create more false features, perhaps only those of the incriminated faces containing the required attributes and manage the presence or not of these faces with expressions.

If I think of anything else... I write it.

Of course knowing better than what it is would not be bad
ok ok I am too curious:tongue:

 

[simlaz]

Goddamn ip....beautiful thought of the false multiples, I didn't think about it! !
Sure some solids have geometry not always so simple and for some I should predict up to ten false at the same time... I wonder if all this weighs too much the parts.

cmq is already an alternative... but cabbage. ..transfer the attribute would be the easiest thing!

ps:
just to satisfy your curiosity...in the workshop at the end of the processing carry out a control of those quotas that must be accurate. from the design identify the processing involved and refer to paper tables that associate the working code with the respective values to be controlled.

in reality they are not 10 fake body, but only feature that will suppress through expressions.
it's just about making some features in +
I'll tell you if you think of me.
