Ok, so I'm making use of the DRW for assemblies as aproduction card for the shop here in the company.
My assembly consists of the final product and includes everythingnecessary.
In my DRW, I have one BOM (part list with no sub assemblies) whichconsists of "Item No.", "Part Number/Name", "Description","Quantity" and a couple other custom columns.
This quantity, automatically generated by solidworks is auto-linkedby whatever quantity the assembly consists of.
Now, for production purposes, I also indicate the quantity neededfor that final product (which in the drawing is simply a "NOTE"linking back to a custom property in my main assembly).
My question here, is how to create an equation, that for every rowin one column will tell me the TOTAL quantity of parts needed for"n" main assemblies.
So, if my custom property "QUANTITY" reads 3 and I have 2 instancesof the part "OuterTank.sldprt" in my main assembly, I would likethis custom column in my BOM to read "6", where theformula/equation would be something like {partQTY} *{MainAssemblyCSTMPRPqty}.
Note: I understand this may not be the best practice, but for mypurposes, it is exactly what I need, I would really appreciate someideas on this and even more the solution.
I hope I made sense, and was clear enough.
Sorry for my poor grammar.
