T&P conduit part number inherit from CC

[Anonymous]

In Inventor 2016 there is a new function that you can use to inherit the part number from the CC. The part number in the BOM is however still always based on the length of a specific pipe segment. We want full control over the part number, we really want to INHERIT the part number from the CC so all our pipes of the same diameter & schedule will roll up in the BOM.

This is the forum topic where the functionality is discussed: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-general-discussion/t-amp-p-conduit-part-number-settings-2016/...

Under my CC Family table I use the an equation like this: "=Ø<OD> x <SN> - <PL> - <MATERIAL> - <MASS>". It should work under T&P with the inherit the Part Number from CC is enabled (working function, not just the current values!). Adding the <PL> at the end of the part number automatically is not a good idea, we need full, customize able control from CC Family Table.
