Not environment-specific
Question:
I need to report weight of welds in my model/drawing. How can I show weld weight on templates and reports? I couldn't find an attribute for weld weight in Template Editor.
Answer:
There is no ready made attribute for weld weight. However, it can be calculated pretty easily using volume. Use the following formula:
GetValue("WELD_VOLUME")*7850
7850 kg/m3 is the density of steel. Remember to use m3 as the unit for weld volume (mm3 is default):
