NX 8.5 / NX10 Associative Quantities in Parts Lists

[frusso110]

This has been brought up previously, however it was many years ago and I'm hoping this has since been resolved.

IN NX8.5 or NX 10 - how can we access the quantity of a part ($~Q) in an annotation?

I can insert a parts list, and then use split balloons when using the Auto Balloon function, but that goes against company standards. Currently, we use "4X" or '4 REQD" for each grouping of a particular component next to the find number balloon.

Thanks!

Seems like there is no way to actually access this variable. Major design flaw!

I agree. This is something that has been needed for a long time. That and the ability to embed symbols in notes/tabular notes.
