Hi,

 

I found what the issue is:

 

  • In the parameter table there is no key defined for the PL value.

Content Center Key.JPG

 

  • The parameter L was mapped. make that value empty.

Content Center parameter.JPG

  • Delete all your written text for the file name (Blue) text to black text. this means that the expression is calculated and not the written text.

I can upload the changed library if you want but it has been migrated to 2018 inventor.

 

please let me know.

Regards,

Arthur Knoors

Hi, 

as per earlier discussions, the files are working in assembly. Part nos. of pipe feature are appearing in BOM of assembly, but if we use same pipe/ tube in tubing & piping feature in inventor, it shows blank in BOM. We need to input part nos. manually to get quantity of pipe. Need your assistance.

Hi,

 

You need to change this is your "DESIGNATION" properties:

 

DESIGNATION PROPERTIESDESIGNATION PROPERTIES

This should solve it.

 

WHY IS THAT:

Because the information is only read from the family so is actually fix.

But you use the inventor features like "Frame gen." or "tube and Pipe", so the values are never selected from the selection table.

This is why the {P_L} is not working and the = ##### <P_L> is working.

if you need more assistant please let me know.

Regards,

Arthur Knoors

Hi,

Please find attached image. when I use pipe in assembly directly, BOM shows item no. for that pipe. But when I go through the tube & pipe feature & load that pipe while populating routing, in BOM part no. shows blank.
