Properties transfer from weldment library

  1. Hi,

    is it possible for the properties of a weldment profile to follow in
    the weldment part. Lets say I have a rod profile defined with all the
    standard description and code, I would like that these info gets
    imported with the profile when I include that rod in a part. For sure,
    if I include more than one profile in the part that have the same
    property fields, it would overwrite the value determined by the
    previous insertion. But the main use of these profile will be to
    create standalone parts, not actual weldments.

    Am I clear? Doable?

    I have to make a database of the raw material we use so designers
    won't have to type in the standard description and internal codes. The
    structural database provided by the toolbox is incomplete and it
    doesn't seem possible to add new profiles (it does not even include
    flat bars or rods). On the weldment side, it is easy to create new
    profiles. I just have to resolve the property issue and I will have a
    solution...

    Any help.

    Dominic.
