Find feature driving weldment body.

Hi All,

I use weldments for designing fabrications that are 95% plate profiles.

I want to find the feature driving a weldment body, identify the extrusion dimension and use that value to parametrically link my 'details' custom property in the cut list with the plate thickness.

At the moment I parametrically link this custom property manually, so any changes in plate thickness is automatically reflected in the cut list. It so tedious I feel it must be 'automatable'!

This driving feature is typically d1@bossextrudeX, where X can be any value.

I have a little SW API knowledge, and would whole heartedly appreciate any hints you send my way!

A few links that I've been looking at...

Thank you all so much in advance.

Jack
