How can I get the BOM to report the sheet numbe a part or assembly is called out on??
 
To my knowledge it can not be done , we attempted this years ago , even contacted PTC.
The only work around was to add a parameter to the part and make sure you filled out the parameter to match the sheet the part was on.
 
&asm.mbr.location.<View Name> or &asm.mbr.location.all_views
 
Contour

Could you explain how to get the sheet number of the sheet where the part is detailed with these notes ?

&asm.mbr.location.<View Name> or &asm.mbr.location.all_views

I tried and could only get the number to show with the entire assemble and table on one sheet. The result was they all have the same sheet number.

Thank
 
BOM repeat region shows information only about assembly/representation, assigned to it. Assembly member location can be shown in BOM only for views of the same assembly/representation. If you show part or subassemly as individual drawing model or member of another assembly/representation, original BOM can not consist any information about them.


To show location of components in BOM you should use only views of the same assembly/representation and blank all other components or create separate table (not repeat region) with parameters &pos_loc:view:<view name> or &sheet:view:<view name> for views of individual components

You can use parameters &pos_loc:view:<view name> and &sheet:view:<view name> in BOM also, by placing them in "Comments" column.
 
contour,

Thanks for the information. You are certainly knowledgeable about this subject.

Do you have an example of showing a sheet number of a part which is a member of an assembly ?

Do you use your method on a regular basis ?
