I have a problem that I hope someone out there may have solved and would be willing to help me out with. Example: A three sheet drawing where the first sheet has assembled views of a weldment. The weldment has two side plates and three center gussets. When the BOM is placed on this sheet the quantities shown match the actual quantities. The second and third sheets are detailed views of the machined parts used in the weldment. When a BOM is placed on the detail sheet, it lists the quantity as one since there is only one part on that sheet. I want it to list the quantity of parts needed for the weldment. This is an over simplified example of our real world problem. We may actually have a sixteen sheet drawing to detail out a fifteen part weldment. The work around of having the entire weldment on the detail sheets and hiding all but one part will not work for overhead reasons. Does anyone have a tool that takes the part quantites from the first sheet's BOM and will work with 2004?
Thanks in advance
