Hello,

Is there a way to add a parameter to my models so that they can determine what sheet# they are on when detailed.
Then add that parameter to my main BOM table so it displays what sheet# to go to to find that part.

Thanks in advance.

You can create a "sheet" parameter for each of your models but I think it would start to get confusing in the long run. What if you used a part in different assemblies and it appeared on different sheets? The parameter could only apply to one specific placement

I think the best thing to do is to generate a BOM table for each sheet of your drawing. This way you can specify what is on each sheet. I think this has to be done thru a table filter and/or picking items which are not on your sheet because when you place the BOM table it will just read the entire assy.

Hope this is of some assistance.
