When you define a custom file property or cut list property that includes
a single or double quotation mark (‘ or “), type an @ sign in front of the quotation mark to
ensure that the expression evaluates correctly.
The @ sign is required when the
expression for the custom property includes a quotation mark to indicate inches, or
references the name of a dimension, feature, sketch, cut list folder, weldment
profile, annotation, bill of materials, or other entity that includes a quotation
mark.
To add an @ sign before quotation marks:
-
In a part file, open the Cut List
Properties
dialog box by doing the following:
-
In the FeatureManager design tree, expand Cut
list.
-
Right-click a cut list item and select
Properties.
-
In the Cut List Summary tab, ensure that
the top check box in the Linked column is clear.
The Link
column lets you select
properties where the values and text in Value/Text
Expression are linked to a parent part or a cut list
folder.
When the check boxes in the Linked
column are clear, the values for Value/Text
Expression become editable.
-
In Value/Text Expression, type an
@ sign before each quotation mark, for example,
2@" X 2@" X 1/4@" and press
Enter.
The correct value appears in Evaluated
Value.

The @ sign also applies when referencing a Property
Name that includes a quotation mark. For example, if you have a file
property whose name is Length12”, you must add an
@ sign in Value/Text Expression
for that property.
