How can you automatically list the parts in an assembly, and get them to show on your drawing. I remember in school it saved them in a file and I was able to easily type in that file and the parts appeared on the drawing.

You need to make a Repeat Region in a Table in your drawing.
To Create a Report Table
1. Create a drawing table on the drawing sheet by choosing /Table / Create. Make at least 2 rows and 2 columns.
2. Define a repeat region by choosing TABLE > Repeat Region > Add.
3. Select cells to repeat with model information. Usually you pick 2 cells in the same row (extreme left and right).
Choose Enter Text and type title text in a row or column outside of the repeat region (unless you want that text to repeat with every occurrence of model data). This is like the Header Text.
4. The repeat region in the table must contain symbol parameter information to be shown in the table. Choose TABLE > Enter Text > Report Sym (this choice allows automated tables!!!).
5. Pick the necessary items to be repeated, such as rpt.qty (quantity), rpt.index or asm.mbr.name.
6. Update the Table to see the cells grow. Remember that the table must be linked to an assembly for it to work properly.
