I have created a template format for making Drawings.

But when im using two different assemblies in creating drawing ,  the BOM is not updating .

 

It is showing same BOM for two seperate Assemblies.

 

Can anyone help me.

Whatever the active model is when the BOM table is placed (or model used when the drawing is created with the template) will be what is used for the table.

You can change the model it references by going to the table tab, then repeat region, model/rep (select the table) and pick the assembly you want the table to be driven from.

Thank You Stephen.

 

But the weight which is mentioned in the title block is  not changing .

The weight in the title block is coming from the model that was active when the drawing was created.

The way you fix this is to make the model active that you want the weight to come from. Edit the cell that contains the weight and remove the colon and the number (session id) past the parameter name that is driving the weight. Creo will automatically 're-add' the colon and number (session id) of the now active model.

Dear Stephen ,

 

I have not kept colon .

 

But still i'm facing the same problem.

 

Please once check the attached image for ur understanding & give me a solution.

 

Im using same dwg files for two assemblies . Weight parameter is considering only one assembly.

 

All the sheets are showing same weight .

Before you edit the weight paramater to remove the colon and the session ID, make sure you set the assembly that you want it to get the weight from is the active one in the drawing.

Dear Martin ,

 

I have uploaded two assemblies including dwg file.

Check the dwg file title block weight parameter.
