machine width automatically updated in Part number / Drawing number

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Currently I'm converting one of our machines from AutoCAD to Inventor 2009.

This machine can vary from 1200mm to 1600mm and has a couple of options to choose from for our customers.

These dimension changes are all driven by a single excel file and the options are controlled in the an IAssembly.

Some of the 2D drawings will have a variable width, in our ERP system they are marked width dependable as followed: "partnumber/1200" or "partnumber/1410" in which 1200 or 1410 is the machine width.

Is it possible to have the 2D drawings automatically update the partnumber? so if I configure my machine as a 1200mm machine it automatically changes my drawingnumber to the actual machine width?

Maybe you should create a parameter "Length",and set length to your dimention which want to change.

and create a rule as this:

iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number")="PartNumber/" & If(length<1000,"0"&length,length)

the partnumber will changed with the length change.
