Hi All,

I am using weldment and relative view techniques for my welded parts. I created weldment cut list table with my part. Then with relative view i created drawings of bodies. But i want to show "cut list item name" and "item no" by selecting these body drawings. Maybe by adding a "NOTE" with a property included.

Any advice will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
zirtapoz

Hello zirtapoz,

Are you trying to create balloons? If so you can get the item number with balloons, and if the "cut list item name" is a property you may be able to get that to.

cheers,
 
I am using balloon to show the item number. But i need to add "cut list item name" to this balloon.
cut list item name:
when we update the cut list, we get folders like
Cut-List-Item1
Cut-List-Item2
.
.
I want to use this folder names, because they are constant considering to item numbers. Item numbers are changing out of my control.

I don't want to use custom properties because i don't want to enter all bodies custom properties one by one.

Because of my project department requests, it is necessary that i must give part numbers to all structural members. They said that we must enter all parts separately to computer for getting cost.
Therefore, i said them, use my weldment part number and add cut list item name to the end of this number. I think this will work.

don't worry be happy.
