Hi there,
I am genereting some parametrical steel/alu/stainless steel parts with database entries with "sales info".
to ensure our draftsmen can only use restricted material AND sizes of this material (in this case metalworks -> stainless steel, crude steel, steel sheets etc ) i need some kind of popup, which is driven by some chart, where i can input the suppliers materials & dimensions.
The user has to pick out of a popup:
1. kind of Material (sheet, L profil, T profil, rect. tubes, circle tubes ) -> we only have 1 supplier he can supply the lists out of his "shopping cart"
2. the dimension (w,t,l)
3. Coating/finishing
manuel input has to be:
4. Name of the part
5. information
4 & 5 must get into the database "Schlosserei - Bauteilinfo" in the fields.
For now i am seeking a way to put exceldata into a VW chart which drives the popup names and parameters.
Later on will need some additional help.
Some stuff is working well, maybe with too complicated nodes, but i think its working.
In the end i think i need a profilesymbol with a polyline for each profile we use and the popup 1. will pick this symbol and then extruded into the length needed.
But the 1. step is too hard for me too take it alone, maybe someone knows what i am planning and can help me with the popups.
