part number in multiple sheet drawing

Hello,

I use multiple sheet drawings and would like to automate part numbers on all sheets according to a relation in parts and subassemblies (the part number must be same on each sheet).

I made this relation: part_number="415-"+rel_model_name:1+"-12"

Is there some way to fix the underscored number to remain always 1?

Thanx in advance

Tom

One other thought somewhat off the original question. You might consider using the drawing name instead of the model name. Just a thought, it really depends on exactly what you are trying to accomplish.

1 is the session id of whatever assembly you are using. could you explain more about what you want in the end exactly?

In each subassembly and part drawing sheet i want to have the same as on the first sheet (what is a top assembly) it means 415-"+rel_model_name:1+"-12 where the rel_model_name is the model name of top assembly.

What is it that you want to be same? Is it 'the text in a note in a particular table cell in the title block part of my format'? (That's my best guess right now.) Or something else?

Thanks Matthew

My creo version is Creo 2.M120.

Since i am not good at relations can you please describe exactly what destinaation to put each relation in?

- "415-{0:&DWG_TOP_MODEL_NAME}-12" to the drawing format - that is clear

theese two relations i am not sure

- "&DWG_TOP_MODEL_SHOWN"

- dwg_top_model_shown from dwg_top_model_name

Thanks a lot

Exact syntax is difficult when it isn't clear what exactly you're looking for, like whether the '415-' and the '-12' will vary between different sets of drawings. If you don't want to deal with relations, you should probably do the '90% value with 10% effort' approach and just have the note have a callout of the drawing parameter, and fill in the parameter manually once for each (however-many-sheets) drawing.

the '415-' and the '-12' will never vary.

here is an example: the top assembly model name is 473-1111 and desired drawing number should be 415-473-1111-12

I sometimes run into the same issue. I have found that you need to ensure the active model in the sheet is the correct model needed for the title block when the format is added/updated.

There is always more to learn.

I just need to ensure that all sheets have the same title name and number as the first sheet (top assembly) no matter whether it is a subasm drawing, part drawing, scheme,...
