How can you add the item reference number from BOM to the respective component drawing?

I want to use the item reference numbers that are created with the BOM ballons of my assembly drawing to indicate which part is shown in a component drawing.

But when I want to add the element number note, only code is generated in that note, as shown in the attached picture.

This is what I would have expected it to look like:

Does anyone know how to fix this, or whether there is any other way or workaround to display the same item reference number that is used in the BOM in the respective part drawing?

 

Thank you for any answers and help.

When detailing parts within an assembly drawing, I have always used the part number, which is also in the BOM, to label the part drawings.

 

If you need to use the item number, you will need to fix the index and manually place balloons.

Hi,

rpt.index can be displayed in assembly drawing, only. Creo does not enable you to show it in part drawing.

    Look for using "FIND NUMBERS" and implementing them using component-level parameters.  So instead of Pro/REPORT generated #s, the balloons will use the parameter values.  These parameters values can come from Windchill.  It's fairly complicated, but doable.

    Hi,

    unfortunately component-level parameters are not available in part drawing.
