Calculate Volume

[thumel]

Hi Everyone,

I want to calculate Volume in cubic yards and list it in the parts list on my drawing. I've tried an expression in the custom iProperties & BOM. Is there a way to calculate it in parameters? I'm using Inventor Professional 2010.

Thanks,
Terri

AFAIK there is no way to do this built into Inventor.

iPropWiz v5 will be able to do this:

Thanks, that's what I was afraid of. I have come up with a really messy way to calculate the volume in cubic yards of concrete. I was looking for an easier way. Too bad I don't need gallons, huh?:)
