    Display Ounces

    I would like to have my drawing display ounces in the weight field on my drawing. I have it now so that it displays for example
    WEIGHT: 0.26 LBS, but I want it to display WEIGHT:4.16 OZ, (.26*16=4.16). I have tried every way I know to add the formula to the parameter pulldown as I did when I added the LBS extension, but I have had no luck at all. Any help or guidance will be much appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    Re: Display Ounces

    First you'll have to add a custom property in "File" "Properties" Name it something like "ounces"

    Then add an equation in "tools" "equations" in the part (not the drawing).

    Add the equation of "sw-mass"*16 Then, on drawing level, enter a linked variable to your "ounces" property.

    it should show how to access the equation editors in the help menu.
