Call custom assembly parameter into BOM

Dear Team,

I have created a custom parameter into the assembly, Now I want to call this parameter into BOM table. I know how to use repeat region, but I am not able to call the assembly custom parameter into drawing BOM table. Please help.

Hi,

if I understand you well then Total_Qty parameter value is related to the component in context of the assembly.

If your Creo version is 7.0 or higher then:

  • download my test data set repeat_region.zip (2024-02-19 06:24 PM)
  • unzip it
  • open t_asm.asm
  • open Parameters dialog box ... see following picture

  • you can define Total_Qty parameter just as the POS parameter is defined
  • close Parameters dialog box
  • open t_asm.drw
  • edit contents of 3rd cell ... see following picture

  • you can enter &asm.mbr.cparam.Total_Qty to display value of Total_Qty parameter

Hi,

according to https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r10.0/usascii/index.html#page/detail/System_Parameters_for_Drawings.html

 

&asm.mbr.MODELPAR displays parameter defined on part/subassembly level

&asm.mbr.cparam.COMPPAR displays parameter defined on assembly component level

Hi,

I need to understand what values you want to see in cells in Total Qty column.

I can only try to help you if you give me this information.

It can be any random number, like 2,3,4, or 5

Thank you so much Martin,

It works as expected. 

Can you please tell me how to enter the parameter as a component, because it is not at a part level nor at assembly?

Hi,

Thanks for the video.

Is it possible to add this component parameter to the assembly start part? so that we don't need to create the parameter every time.

No.

MS,

 

We use &asm.mbr.title in our on drawing BOM.
