Formulas for extracting the numbers of 1ups and external objects in assembled 3D drawings

Formula patterns

EXTRACTING DATA ABOUT

FORMULA

The number of times a 1up is present in an assembled 3D representation

$Fold3DN.PartsCount(OneUpN)$$

The number of times an external object is present in an assembled 3D representation

$Fold3DN.PartsCount(TabName)$

NOTES:

Fold3DN is the name of the predefined area for а 3D drawing.
OneUpN is the name of the 1up drawing that is being counted.
TabName is the name of the tab that contains the external object that is being counted. This tab is part of the 3D Objects dialog box (pictured). IMPORTANT: Unlike all other formulas, for which data is extracted automatically, this formula requires that you type the tab name in the Data column of the Design Frame tab.

Examples

TO DISPLAY

USE THIS FORMULA

YOU WILL SEE

How many times the 1up Barrier1 positioned in the design frame area OneUp1 is featured in the assembled 3D drawing displayed in the design frame area Fold3D1.

Barrier1 — $OneUp1.Name$ — $Fold3D1.PartsCount(OneUp1); n0$ pcs

"Barrier1 — 4 pcs" *

How many times the external object Car positioned in the design frame area Fold3D2 is featured in the assembled 3D drawing displayed in the design frame area Fold3D1.

FCar — $Fold3D1.PartsCount(Car); n0$ pcs or Car — $Fold3D1.PartsCount(Fold3D2); n0$ pcs

"Car — 4 pcs" **

* The n0 formatting ensures that an integer is displayed.

** The two formulas produce the same result. The first refers to the tab name of the external object as it appears in the 3D Objects dialog box (see above). The second formula cites the name of predefined area in which the external object is represented.
