I have been using macro that pulls up an icon that allows users to fill in blocks (either text or drop down) that are linked to
self created custom properties. In that macro I had a drop down block that had three different forms of showing the weight of
a part using the "Mass" system property that is based on the density of a material. I was instructed that this functionality
is no longer going to be able to be used in either Solidworks 2010 or definately in Solidworks 2011. With that I was led to the
"Property Tab Builder" I have successfully created all of the buttons in that were in my previous macro in this builder.
With the exception of the weight. What happens with that is I made that a drop down box with the three selections. What happens
is I select on of the three, exit save my part and go to my drawing and it populates the weight in the title block.
When if go back to my part if for any reason the part regenerates the weight value shown in the drawing title block is gone.
When you "Edit sheet Format" the code text for the weight is still there, but the value is not carried over. When I go back to the
Part file and select the property tab builder tab in the task pain the value is blank. This is the only value it is doing this with.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Didn't have this problem with my Viaul Basic old method!!!
Help!!!
