I'm exploring the property tab builder to fill in the properties of a part.
We use Solidworks2011 with PDM9000.
In a part we need to fill in:
- Length (no problem, manual)
- Width (no problem, manual)
- Remarks (no problem, manual if neccesary)
- Material (solidworks materials)
- Articlenumber of the raw material in the ERP-system
- Description of the raw material ex. Plate 5mm
With an articlenumber comes autmatic a description.
When I build a custom properties tab, I can select with the option List to read the list in an accesdatabase.
I tought nice, that's what we need BUT...
It's seems logic to me that when I fill in the articlenumber that the description will be filled in automatic. Why would someone use a accesdb in the first place.
I contacted my VAR but they tell me it's not possible.
So why oh why makes solidworks the option to use a accesdb (or excel table) if it's useless!!!
