Using rpt.qty to show quantity in a single part drawing

Is there a way to use a BOM's "rpt.qty" in a part drawing? I'd like to include the quantity in the part info table when I create drawings so I don' t have to manually enter it.

Wouldn't it always be a quantity of one?

I guess don't understand why you should need to reference the rpt.qty parameter in the drawing for an individual part. Can you explain a little more what you're trying to do?

Thanks,

Brian

hmmm...let me guess....sometimes we need to show the total quantity of that particular part, its individual weight and the total weight of the quantity...in the part drawing itself.

we have made drawings of individual parts with customer asking us to put the total quantity with the individual part drawing itself.....at present we do it manually.

Wow. In 25 years of engineering I've never had anyone ask for that before. In that case, no, there's no way to use the rpt.qty parameter in such a situation. I think you'll be stuck entering it manually.

You sort of need the assembly to tally the number of components.
