how to callout the assembly instance name/Part # automatically in PMI

how to callout the assembly instance name/Part # automatically in PMI

how to callout the assembly instance name/Part # automatically in PMI

(OP)
Hi everybody,

I'm exploding an assembly to illustrate the components. This is an .xpk file that I bring from IDeas to UG NX4.

I would like to know if there is any method in PMI that I can use to automatically call out the name/part number of the instance in the assembly. I visualize this is how it should work:

I pick an instance--> It should automatically key-in the part number of the part in the screen--> i pick the next part...and so on

I'm very new to UG and I use ideas. So bear with me if I'm too greedy. I know there are some special symbols like <@partname>, but it does not work for me

i also tried attributes in the PMI, but always I get the top assembly name/Part # as the attributes value

I tried in drafting too, but I get baloons with numbers. I'll be OK atleast in drafting I can get the part numbers instead of numbered baloons


Thanks in advance
Victor
