Hi all,
I need to insert a sheet metal properties, like a bounding box area of flat sheet, in the label of the drawing. I know to do this throught a table, but is not very functional. How can I do this?
Thanks in advanced

If you are looking to insert the bounding box properties of a sheet metal flat pattern (width, length, volume of bounding box...) into a title block, you can easily do that. From the 'Insert' menu, click on 'Reference Geometry' and then on 'Bounding Box', this will insert a bounding box feature into the feature tree. Those configuration specific properties should now be accessible to insert into your title block.

You should be able to produce the box area "if" you create a Flat Pattern Configuration and use that configuration to populate your custom properties

What do you mean by 'label of the drawing'? A drawing view label? The drawing title block? A regular annotation?

I mean the drawing title block
