Paramters values in table

TG1891 — Mon, 08 Jan 2024 10:02:58 GMT

Trying to figure out the best way of implementing multiple parameter values into a general table.
I understand how to put parameters into a parts list table, but that only applies to the column, as you can see from the picture we have multiple parameters that need implementing for various data points. From what i've found, it's not possible on a normal general table.

If you copy them into custom iProperties you can use them in a table that way.

You can use iLogic to copy them from parameters to iproperties

...or put a tick in the box next to each parameter you want in your table:

The tick in the "Export Parameters" column creates a Custom iProperty using the Parameter's name, and the iProperty value updates to the parameter value.

I have already done that on some of them. it doesn't pick it up and convert to the value in individual cells in the general table.
You can add it as it's own column in a parts list but that wouldn't work here for so many different ones needed and the layout.

Have you added the custom iProperty in the column chooser?

I have already said that above. You can add it to a parts list as a column, but it's only as the column header. I can't add all of these values below as individual columns and the parts list will only show 1 row as per the parts and not the variations in the spring.

I fail to see why it doesn't pull the parameter properly, since this is my result.

Also, if you refuse to name the dimensions the same thing, but expect to push them to the same column of the table, you'll have to use some ilogic that pushes those parameters into an iProperty with a common name.

You know. I misread the initial issue. It's a general table, not a partslist. My mistake.

Hi Tim,

The general table allows you to create an empty table, iPart/iAssembly author table, the Model States table, an Excel spreadsheet or a CSV file. I don't think Parameters (besides the ones on the iPart/iAssembly/Model States table) can be shown in the general table.

Please share the file here. The forum experts and I can help take a look to understand the request better.

Many thanks!
