iLogic extract plate dimensions

joris.engelbertink — Mon, 06 Jul 2020 16:35:49 GMT

Hi all,

I would like to extract my plate dimensions with some iLogic code.

I already have this working when plates are drawn aligned with the x-y-z axis. Does someone has an idea how to get proper results when parts have a rotation with the x-y-z axis? This issue pops up when working with Multi Body Parts.

My current solution is to first create a sheet metal part, flatten it and extract x-y-z dimensions, but its quit time consuming.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Grt, Joris

If you use Sheetmetal these properties are available:

Sheetmetallength

Sheetmetalwidth

Use these as customproperties
