Hi everybody. I need a tool like the parts list. click on the details to create the expansion size. please help me
You have to be more specific.
To create an „intelligent” part you can use the iLogic concept, but there are also simpler ways - like „Derived part” or „iPart”.
Is this what your are looking for?
iLogic is used to get the dimensions of the flat patern.
From here you can have the results displayed on your drawing.

This is what we use to get Flat Pattern information from our components in Inventor.

Hope this helps.
Agree there are some simple ways to do this. some points to consider
-If the calculation of the flat pattern follows the rule of the fabrication, remember that every manufacturer can obtain different dimensions according to the method of the fabrication (bending tables) (Kfactor) etc so I will encorage the use of Bending tables because it is base on the test direct with the workshop...etc
-Asuming everything is fine with the method all that you have to do is check where Inventor is keeping this information if is in 2 Parameters (lets say Width and Height) all you have do is
create an ilogic rule (00-calculations)
write this line
iProperties.Value("Custom", "01-Dimensions (mm)") = Round(Round(WIDTH,4)/0.0001) * 0.0001 & " x " & Round(Round(HEIGHT,4)/0.0001)*0.0001
Now the dimension will be in a custom field of the Iproperties and you can passe it to the BOM, the Part List or map the properties in Vault
Hope this help
