hi to everyone, I often read this forum and so far I found many useful tips using pro/e and creo.
recently my company has passed to solidworks (for corporate reasons we are bound to sw 2018 at the moment) and I am beginning to create a little 'base' for my work and colleagues with templates and default cards, but I need a hand from the most experienced of this cad to automatically recall some properties in a bilingual cartiglio.
I'll explain better.
in the past with creo we created a database of materials with some additional properties: editing the txt edges of materials, we inserted some extra fields like "extended Italian description" and "extended English description" and in the part template there was a relationship that went to read these two string values and inserted them into a part property. in this way choosing the material called aisi-304 were populated two properties " stainless steel aisi-304" and "stainless steel aisi-304" instead of recalling the only name aisi-304.mtl.
Now, in solidworks 2018 I created my custom property table, and also a partial database of the materials used, but for now choosing sw-material only get the name, while I noticed that for example there is also a "description" field (which could contain my extended Italian description) and wanting a blank field "origin" (which could serve me for the English description), but I would like to understand if these data can be extrapolated and inserted in the table. or if there is the possibility to create another way this double link
I hope it is clear what I would like to get, in case I show you an example of what was my original mtl file of creo.
I tried to search in the forum, but I don't think I'm very experienced in filtering results, forgive me if the topic has already been dealt with.
hello and thanks again
