Custom property used as component description
Posted: Thu Apr 29, 2021 4:49 am
Hello!
We are upgrading from SW2018 to SW2020 and I found this wonderful option.
Is there anyone aware whether it is possible to compile one custom property from a two or more other custom properties that are read (or written) by PDM?
I tried some what of an expression as in the pic below
and in Summary Information dialog box Evaluated value was correct. Just like I imagined it would be but if I chose to use this new formulated Custom Property as a Component Description the shown value in featuretree would be the formulated expression. Not the Evaluated Value
Could there be an easy workaround or is my formula correct at all?
I got so excited about this new features since then I could skip all our filenames and READ what the part or assy is...! From the featuremanager instead lottery numbers and guessing...
EDIT: I realized that there is a difference with $prp and $PRP... but still the outcome is the same. Formulated expression in FeatureTree.

$prp:"ITEM_CODE" > $prp:"ITEM_DESC1" > $prp:"ITEM_DESC2"
