I want to include some data in my drawing template to show things like the area of the part. SW-Surface area doesn't work for me because I just need the 2D area contained on say, a 4' x 8' sheet of UHMWPE. I've realized I'll probably have to manually enter a value for this area, but I then want to take that entered value and multiply it by a certain factor like 1.25.
Ideally, the designer would enter in the area of the part and the notes on the drawing would automatically fill themselves in like so...
Area: 32 square inches Material Required: 40 square inches
Is there a way to multiply values in the value/ text expression box of custom properties?
