thread561-145421: Quantity Attribute
Just bumping this closed thread!
Mr. Baker, do you know a way? I take it as this has been unanswered for 6 years, that it is not possible. But does not hurt to ask again. Enhancement Request?

thread561-145421: Quantity Attribute
"Has anyone found a way to give a component such as "glue" in a parts list a quantity of "A/R"? I know that I can overwrite the quantity, but I am looking for a way that I can assign an attribute in the component. This attribute will override the parts list to display "A/R" by default without having to overwrite the automatic quantity.
Thanks,
NXdesigner"

RE: A/R (As Required) set for quantity of bulk items at the part level
Thanks John, that is our current method to set the quantity for bulk items. We were wondering if we could improve the method.
We were wondering if you can default "A/R" in the part file, so when you add a bulk item to an assembly, the parts list will automatically set the quantity to A/R in the plist, saving us setting it each time.
Any chance this might work? Do you know how this might be done?

RE: A/R (As Required) set for quantity of bulk items at the part level
Note that there has been a suggestion made that we implement some special system defined Attributes (like we've done with some other things specific to Components, such as whether they're included in the Parts List or not, whether they are Sectioned in a Section view) which could be set in a master part controlling things like the quanity being set to 'A/R' or the Component is to be treated as non-geometric, which at the moment must be (if you don't have TeamCenter) done inside the Assembly, on a Component by Component basis, where the Component is actually being used.
That being said, if you would like to contact GATC and have them open an ER to this effect, it will help us in setting the proper priorities when it comes to project planning for upcoming releases of NX.

Jon,
Search "Default_as_req" in the TCE docs. It is the second hit when searching.
Specifies the value to write to the transfer file when the Teamcenter component quantity is A/R; typically, = 1
This is done in ERP.
Good Luck.
Peter

DB_UNITS = m (assuming Meter)
Then in the ANT, you can change the quantity.
Thank you...
