BOM rpt.index in Notes
BOM rpt.index in Notes
(OP)
Hi Guys,
I have an assembly BOM table that lists the parts as Items 1,2,3 etc...using rpt.index
Now I want to refer to the item numbers in the notes i.e.: ASSEMBLE ITEM 3 TO ITEM 4.... etc
Is there a way to reference the BOMs Item number (rpt.index) into notes, so they will update automatically rather than manually changing the notes.
Thanks
J

Why not access the part name or part number instead?
If I came accross something, I will post.

I haven't worked with it since my 2001 days but I believe it could do what you want (or something similar).
I'll see what info I can dig up...

If there is a work around, please post it so everyone can take advantage of the information.

A component used in multiple assemblies could potentially have two index values, which could cause havoc!
There may be a solution... a couple of releases from now
Actually, PTC's acquisition of Arbortext might be a step in this direction, as what you are asking to do is very similar to what Arbortext's software is made to do.
