Qty on detail print

[stekicar]

Is there a way to put qty in detail drawing to automatically update from assembly? In other words, can I somehow reference qty from assembly to detail print?

If what you are asking for is to get the quantity of a part from the assembly, the answer is no.

After all, if the part is in multiple assemblies, which is the assembly that you want to gat the quantity from?

The other ereason this is a bad idea is when you put that part into a new assembly but the part has not changed. Do you want to revise the detail part drawing to indicate that it now has a new assembly parent?

These things are best left for your PBM/MRP/BOM software to handle.

My customer requested it. Makes no sense, but have to do it. This time manually ...

Thank you to both of you!
