Hi,

I made 2 custom materials and a corresponding gauge table for both (aluminum sheet and stainless steel sheet). In the custom material properties both materials correctly point to the respective gauge table. When I assign a material it correctly pulls the table and everything works fine. Then when I try and change material it tells me "Invalid gauge table format" and errors out. What I find interesting is that the sheet metal actually pulls the new gauge table, however the material does not change.

Are there any reasons this doesn't work? By reading the solidworks design help it sounds like this should work - "When you assign a custom material to a sheet metal part, you can link the sheet metal parameters to the material. If you change the material, the sheet metal parameters also update."

Here is some more info about my configuration that could help.

     It works when assigning a material for the first time for both materials.

     I have copied exactly from the default tables for both of my custom tables, and tried numerous things to ensure that they are formatted exactly the same.

     They both have 4 rows (4 thicknesses), however they are not the same, and the bend radii are also different.

Please let me know if you are aware why this is not working, or if there is anything else I can provide to help diagnose the issue,

Thank you in advance,
