Using File Properties in Equations for Configurations

For parts that contain configured file properties, you must use the following syntax for file properties in equations:

filePropertyName@ConfigurationName@PartName.Part

For example, for the first configuration of a part, the value of a dimension D1@ThisPart might be expressed by the equation D1@ThisPart= PropA@Config1@ThisPart.part where:
  • PropA is the name of a file property
  • Config1 is the name of the first configuration of the part
  • ThisPart.part is the part name

The value for the second configuration might be expressed as D1@ThisPart = PropA@Config2@ThisPart.partwhere Config2 is the name of the second configuration.

In this example, if the file property PropA is set at 100 for the first configuration, then in that configuration the dimension D1@ThisPart is equal to 100, and if PropA is set at 200 for the second configuration, then D1@ThisPart is equal to 200 in that configuration.

If you do not specify the configuration the equation, the software might not return the correct value of the file property for that configuration.
