Metadata in features

[bespel]

Hi, is it possibile to set data/description for a particoilar feature and recall it in the drawing?

Example:

I have 10 holes, all with same specs, but I would like to "name" each of these holes, es:

Hole1> K11

Hole2> K11A

Hole3> K11B

etc

Then I would like to recall these data in the drawing (position mounting references)

I would like to do that for holes but for features in general too.

DO you have any idea?  Thank you!

Hi @bespel,

The Screencast plugin will allow you to capture a video of your work with command information in-context.

I hope this helps.

Hi Xun,

thank you, but I don't need the Screencast .

The case is, (I hope) clear.

Otherwise, let me know.

Thanks!

How about a 3D annotation in the model and then use the Retrieve Model Annotation command in the drawing?

I tried the Leader Text tool in a quick part model.  It seems to work ok.  I had to take care to make sure that the 3D annotation plane was parallel to the drawing view plane I planed to use.

Nice! Thank you!

So there are no alternative solution?

You can certainly change the name of each feature to be what you want (replace the name of Hole1 with K11B, for example).  But I don't know how to access these names in the annotations.

Hi! This might be doable via iLogic rule but I am not 100% sure. In theory, you can rename the Hole feature to KA1 or something like that. Then add the feature name to a leader node.

Many thanks!

Great!

Someone has an example of this iLogic code?

Thanks!
