Note Type Parameter help..

Note Type Parameter help..

Note Type Parameter help..

(OP)
I have my startparts setup with the x,y,z dims relationed to parameters dx,dy,dz. Then a note in the model tree that references them (&dz X &dx X &dy). Then I have a NOTE type (not a string type) parameter (description) that references that note. This works fine for my drawing file BOM table but does not work in the assy mode BOM feature. My bom.fmt uses  %description[-40] to try and reference the value I need, but that seems to only work on string type parameters and will not retreive the note type parameter info. Is there something I need to add to it to pull in the note type parameter info?

Also, is there a way in the bom.fmt file to sort the listings by one of the parameters instead of being listed in the same order they are shown in the model tree?

Thanks in advance.
