Where I work there are two numbers that can be assigned to a part, one is the drawing number; the other is a stock number from the MRP system. I want to add a column to a BOM table that shows the stock number.
I think I'm on the right track
If I assign a parameter in the model file called STOCK_NUMBER as a string and assign the relevant number I can call this up either in the BOM table or as part of the drawing border.
If a change the model template to incorporate this then all future models will have it?
I can then call this up on the part drawing and on the BOM table.
Now this is were I'm struggling,
on the BOM table I pick a cell to add the stock number to
RMB - report parameter
rpt - rel - User Defined
type STOCK_NUMBER as the symbol text
Before I update the drawing the cell shows "rpt.rel.STOCK_NUMBER", however updating the drawing by hitting CTRL-G nothing is shown in the table
Where am I going wrong?
I realise that this has now doubt been discussed before, I've searched previous posts and can't find what I need to know, many thanks in advance.
