Part number generator

Open keri-s opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

A script that works like this (see below) would be nice and save me a lot of clicks and copies. I have found a script that can do step 1-3 and then use that to save as part. But i need a little more functionality to really make use of it.

Start Macro ->

  1. Open textfile
  2. Extract some static string + integer from the textfile.
  3. Increase the integer with +1 and close the textfile.
  4. Adds the string + integer as a string to a Custom Property "Part Number". (This is important since 3DX use custom properties to define parts attribute. I guess this should be considered standard in the future...)
  5. Save part as "Part Number" + "Other property such as Description or Revision"

Either one macro for parts and one for assemblies . Or add some identifier. Really dosent matter.
