Flat Pattern Extents

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know how to make inventor list the flat pattern extents as a
parameter to be used in a parts list?
Having Inventor tell you the extents (or shear size) and then have to
re-enter it manually isn't very productive and leads to errors.....

I think there was a post a while back in the customization newsgroup that did what you
want. I am not positive, but it would be worth a search.

I got on solution on my site, it's one among many functions of the iProperty
Collection add-in. It adds a custom property with the SM extents, the
property is updated every time the part is saved.

If you need the values in another format or have other requests let me know.
