I'm looking for a away to automatically record the number bends on a sheetmetal part with the intention of referencing it in the drawing. I don't know of any parameters that report a bend count or any other ways of tracking it outside of a manual input. I'd like to stay as far from manual input as possible and rather implement a solution that updates if the part is changed. Any help, suggestions, or ideas would be appreciated.
I was hoping there would be a system parameter in creo for a drawing report field.. but I could not find one
One way would be to use CREOSON to list the features by type, count them up - and then create parameter(s) with the number of bends that could be displayed on your dawing using a parametric name reference.
That is not automatic / parametric - would have to be ran every time manually - but would work.
