How to add number of used hardware (screws) in family table ?

[pobsd]

Hello All- 

I am working on the assembly family table drawing. Each instance uses the different numbers of the hardware. Is there any way creo can count the number of hardware on each assembly and can add that information on the family table column so I can show that in my drawing? I really appreciate it if someone helps me with this or any suggestion.

Thank you so much.

Hi,

I am sorry I have to repeat my request ... please can you upload example data ? I mean Creo files, not picture. I think you understand that I can't guess how your assembly is built.

I think this is fundamentally why Repeat Regions exist... for Creo Drawing Tables...  to report the content and qty of things.

Assuming you are creating a drawing of a family table instance of an assembly, you should be able to add the required table and repeat region to your drawing template and it should work automagically when done.

Hi David.

Thank you for your response. I didn't find that option. Could you please share with me if you have something for this?

Thank you

Are you looking to have one BOM table with a QTY column for each instance of the family table?

I am not sure a BOM table can reference multiple assemblies in this way.  Someone else may have more info if this is your goal.

Hi Kdrith-

Thanks for your reply. yes, I am looking for QTY column for each instance for the family table.

The following links I think will point you in the right direction... depending on what your goal is for the final table and content.

I think everyone pointing to the BOM table repeat region are missing the fact that he wants to see that info in the family table editor itself.  Offhand, I can't think of a way to do that.
