Thank you so much for you respond, It helped me a lot.... but look what I need is to add the real quantity not the sum of all the pieces... we currently have this note which they made long time ago, I put the &rep.qty in the #REQ value so it changed to the sum of all of them not just the 6, this value we put it manually
As I see we do a lot of hard work doing it all manually, so I got some additional questions, Is there a way to put the item automatically by alphabet? and to take the "&F_CAT_ID_NO" equal as the name of the part? but the main question here is how to add automatically the quantity of each item (rpt_qty) in the note instead of put manually "#REQ"?
Thanks for your respond, it's pretty pretty similar it could work, Could you pls explain me how to make that kind of notes?
well in this case I'm guessing that I should put asm.mbr.name in the "#REG" parameter so it should change depending on the table, isn't it? but sadly it didn't work at all probably I did something wrong.

Hi,
you cannot include repeat region parameters into note. You have to create custom symbol and use it to show BOM balloons related to repeat region. Please watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LZoXarSSyU video.
Thank you so much for your response.
First at all, the structure of my assembly is
Name.asm
Name_001.asm subassembly
Name_001a
Name_001a
Name_001b
Name_002.asm subassmebly
Name_002a
Name_002b
an so on
So sometimes we put Name_001a and Name_002a into the same sheet and sometimes they (operators) dont have the main table to see the real qty of each item becuase they just have the printing sheet they're working, so that's why we put a custom symbol (a note) to each item into the drawing.
......
And second one. I have tried this one, and of course that's what I exactly need, it works, I just have a question right here (see image), how to set the "B" as the same name as the other ones, l mean all "Name_001b" is going to have "B" to avoid changing it one by one. and other question, can it be shown just as a text without the lines of the table?
Hi mates,
I just want to add this attributes that works for every level of the assemble, not just in the main level so you select Attributes, then clic on the table and select the following "No Duplicates", "Recursive", "Bln By Part", "No Cbl Info" and that's it
Thank you all.
Hi all,
As previous discussion participants had mentioned already
- each model has to have a model level parameter ('BOM_QTY' for example);
- drawing sheet note's text to include 'Session ID' in pro/relation lingo or 'RelationId' in OTK lingo - for example, let' say NAME_001A.PRT has session id being 5, the note-text would look like '&BOM_QTY:5'
- the main obstacle(s) to this approach would be to populate a model level parameter with the data from BOM table row and there is no easy way to do it without some programming.
The good news is: there is 'Creo.JS' and its 'Testing Web Tool' - this is from Creo.JS User's Guide.
Here is a javascript code to run.
var columnNumberForRptQty = 2;
var paramNameForQty = "TEST_QTY";
var rowStartNumber = 2;
function MdlParamAssign( mdlObj, intValueToAssign) {
var param_val = pfcCreateIntParamValue(intValueToAssign);
if( !param_val){
return (false);
}
var paramObj = mdlObj.GetParam( paramNameForQty);
if (paramObj == null){
mdlObj.CreateParam (paramNameForQty, param_val);
paramObj=mdlObj.GetParam(paramNameForQty);
}
if( paramObj == null) {
return false;
}
try{
paramObj.Value=param_val;
}
catch (err){
return(false);
}
return( true);
}
function BomTableRowTextToMdlParam( table, currentRowNumber) {
var txt ="";
var cell = pfcTableCell.Create( currentRowNumber, columnNumberForRptQty);
if( ! cell) {
return(txt);
}
var qty = table.GetText( cell, pfcParamMode.DWGTABLE_NORMAL)
var mdl = table.GetCellReferenceModel(cell);
if( !mdl) {
txt = "Cannot get model object... Qty was extracted: " + qty;
return(txt);
}
var result = MdlParamAssign( mdl, qty);
if( result) {
txt += mdl.FullName + " : " + paramNameForQty + " ParamValue assigned: " + qty;
}
else {
txt = "===============Cannot create or modify model parameter for " + mdl.FullName;
}
return(txt);
}
function BomTableToMdlParams() {
// Click Run to execute this script
const session = pfcGetCurrentSession ();
var selBuff = session.GetCurrentSelectionBuffer();
var selected = selBuff.GetContents();
if( selected == null ) {
alert ("Must select BOM table...");
return;
}
if( selected.Count < 1 ) {
return;
}
selected.forEach( sel => {
let table = sel.GetSelItem();
if( ! table ) {
return;
}
let rowCount = table.GetRowCount();
for( var i = rowStartNumber; i <= rowCount; i++) {
let txt = BomTableRowTextToMdlParam( table, i);
print(txt);
}
});
}
BomTableToMdlParams();
This code will populate model level parameter with the value from BOM table cell
How to do it:
- delete all text lines in web-editing window
- and insert this code. Replace a column number and parameter name, row starting number in the pasted code with your values. (row and column count start with 1)
- open drawing with BOM table. Preselect BOM table - use 'Table' selection filter.
- click on 'Clear' button and 'Run' button.
This is about all to it.

Hello all,
to open Creo.JS interactive shell :
while in web browser panel:
- click on '+' tab to add an empty browser tab
- go to navigation tab and type in or paste the text of the full file path where to your creo's "Common Files\apps\creojs\creojsweb" folder is located
double-click on 'script_engine_testing.html' file.
HIH.
