Question

Assoicate CAD to WTPart for wires

We have some a scenario where we have some wire that we modeled as a single part; however, the BOM on the drawing we want it to say 500mm.  If I do the Auto-Associate as OWNER, it will come in as QTY.1.  Will the other selections (Content/Image/Contributing Content/Contributing Image) allow for the part associated to be populated in the BOm, but allow me to overwrite the Quantity for the Windchill Part (Gear part)?

Thanks!

You can use the bulk item component.

We aren't using a BULK item since the routing is shown in the CAD.  For example, we may have a drawing with part 12345.prt that defines the drawing; however, we create a 12345-900.prt (900 is out deformed part naming convention) that shows a routed wire or rope or chain, etc.

Then the upper assembly where I would use the BUILD ASSOCIATED PART from WIndchill pulls in the 12345 part, but it always comes in as QTY 1, I would want to update that to say 200mm.

Use a repeat region relation for part 12345 that changes the qty to 200 or whatever value you use in that assembly.

IF asm_mbr_number == "12345"

QTY = '200mm"

endif
