Linking BOM Callout and Quantiy Numbers To A New Sheet Within a Top Level Assembly Or Separate prt.

Linking BOM Callout and Quantiy Numbers To A New Sheet Within a Top Level Assembly Or Separate prt.

(OP)
Hello Folks & Professionals,

I'm new to this forum but have been reading solutions for many years here.

I have a question and maybe someone can help me out or at least let me know if it is possible to do. I use NX11 but the request was for NX7.5.

I have an assembly of a Die/mold design and can create all my drawings in the top level assembly. I have a BOM that works great with an exploded view with all the balloons, ETC... Then I can create new sheets for each callout. Some callouts have more than a quantity of one.

I need to be able to have the callout number and quantity shown on each sheet for each given item. Should I use a referenced view when I add the base view in drafting or add the entire assembly and just hide everything I don't want to see? In the title block I'm trying to figure out how to have callout number and quantity for each particular detail on it's own sheet.

I can switch my "UGII_UPDATE_ALL_ID_SYMBOLS_WITH_PLIST" variable to allow multiple BOM's and just delete the items in each BOM on each sheet for the things I don't want but the drawing will be cluttered with copies of the BOM not to mention slow the updating process. I'm thinking there has to be a better way of doing this.

I have used automatic attribute annotations before for single prt files example "<W@$SH_PART_NAME>". Is there similar automatic attribute annotations to control displaying callout and quantities? Or Should I just make each part the displayed part and detail each component and somehow link the top level BOM callout and quantity to each displayed part? Kind of stuck on this one and I have done a lot of reading on here but haven't found the silver bullet yet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Cheers,

Richie
