@Ralf_Krieg & @Stakin : So, After I posted this, I was talking to another engineer internally about this, and ultimately this solution came up organically in our discussion. Fire off a message box on save that will prompt the engineer to verify the "form factor". And with that second bit of code, it looks like it would basically fire once per part...once the result is set, it won't ask again. The nice thing about this, is I can use this on "legacy" parts, so if I use a part created 2 or even 6 years ago, I can still handle it. WE are going to be releasing a pretty massive job in about a month, so the intent is to have this ready for that release. Saving my machine shop 2-4 days of raw material sizing/procurement is a huge time saver.
@nmunro Neil, that's a good point. That would allow me to differentiate between "Round Stock", "Normal", and "Sheetmetal". Between form factors and our part numbering system, I can sort exactly what the machine shop needs.
