iPart updating embossing per size, using text parameter

Wouter.VerbeeckR8BCD — Wed, 03 Jan 2024 12:23:01 GMT

Hello Everybody.

I am using an iPart to contain multiple sizes of a specific tooling.

These toolings are marked with their specific partnumber and main dimension for easy reference.

I am using text that is embossed in the part to show this. For the dimension I can use a parameter that is referenced. (see attached image)

Is it possible to reference the partnumber assigned to the different sizes to this somehow? (The word partnumber would need to update to the partnumber of that size when opened.)

currently the only work around I can think of is to make multiple embossing's of every size and toggle them on or off using the iPart.

Any ideas are welcome.

Thanks!

Hello,
I have better solution you can use Extrude with new solid body on your text sketch and you can extract new solid body by using combine command. After that you have to use scale body by using a parameter. BOMM!! now you have a parameter to adjust your text scale. 😀 There is always a new way 😁

In the Text box you've shown, change the text to:

Type = "Standard iProperties". Source = "Primary Model". Property = "PART NUMBER"

2024 model attached in case it helps.

It seems that I misunderstood the problem somehow. I think it was a problem I've been pondering a lot, so I wanted to understand it this way. Nevertheless, let it be noted that if you want the text to grow in size according to the parameter along with the text , you can add the method I mentioned above alongside the system mentioned by @pcrawley Good luck😀

Hi Pcrawley,

This seems like the perfect solution to this problem in 2024. Thanks allot!

Currently we are still working with Invenor 2022. It seems there are less options in this version.

This worked for me, Thanks!

Didn't think of actually using the dimensional input to generate the partnumber.
