Bulk Item and its unit

[pdiletti-2]

Hi everybody

sometimes I use bulk item parts in assembly.

In the BOM table on drawing I see the BOM_REPORT QUANTITY parameter.

Is it possible to see, in the same table,

the Unit_quantity and the Unit

which are two characteristics of that parameter ?

Thanks a lot

Bye

Hi

When you edit the parameters of the bulk item, you can add the column "unit" to the table to see the units. By default the parameter "BOM_REPORT_QUANTITY" has no unit. If you right click on the parameter you can add a unit by selecting like below.

Here's what you can get ones it's done.

I suppose you can then call this in your bom table.

Thank you Raphal,

Yes, I added the unit on the Parameter panel, but the problem is just ...

how to recall this info on the BOM table on the drawing.

Ok, I did not read very well you question.

After a look to support, I found this : https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS122116&art_lang=en&posno=1&q=report%20unit&ProductFamily=Creo…

It says :

• To obtain the appropriate result, add the Bulk Item to an assembly and create a drawing which contains this assembly.
• Create a table with a simple region and add the parameter &asm_mbr_ptc_unit_bom_report_quantity
• Refresh the table
