BOM Table Custom Properties
BOM Table Custom Properties
(OP)
I use custom properties alot. I'm trying to find the syntax for extracting the item number and quantity from a SW BOM table (standard SW table - not an excel based table) to put in a note on subsequent drawing pages when the part gets detailed. I searched the help files but couldn't get it to work. The drawing is attached. The BOM table is on sheet 1. On sheet 2 are the part details. The typical syntax for a note associated with each part is as follows:
$PRP:"BOMDESCRIPTION"
$PRP:"BOMMATERIAL"
WEIGHT: $PRP:"WEIGHT" LBS
SHEET 1 BOM ITEM qqq
QTY zzz REQUIRED
Currently I have to type in the qqq and zzz valves from the Sheet 1 BOM table. I would like to turn those items into custom properties from the BOM table. I think it should have the form of $PRP@"some property from the BOM table" but just can't figure it out. I customozie the BOM table to use custom properties of BOMDESCRIPTION AND BOMMATERIAL from the part file. Under the custom properties of the BOM table the item number and qty are not in the drop down list. I do not want to enter these property directly as a custom property to the part file as it would be in error if I ever changed the assembly model sequence of parts. Help with the exact sysntax would be appreciated.
