My boss wants me to modify our company's titleblock to have a"Quantity per assembly" field and a "total quantity for the job"field (in the frequent case that we build more than one of anassembly). These fields have to be on the part drawing, which iswhy I posted it in this category.
It would be ideal if SW could get this information from thetop-level assembly drawing and link it back to the parts, but I seeno way of doing this. I figure the only way to do this is by havingthe "quantity per assembly" field manually filled out, then fillout some multiplier value through Task Scheduler to tell it howmany builds there are for the project and use SW to multiply thetwo custom properties together to get what I'm after.
When I add a custom property, it gives me the option of what typeof property it is (Text, Number, etc). I figure that there must bea way to manipulate the numbers but SW help isn't too helpful inthis instance and I can't find anything on the forums for this. Anyhelp would be appreciated.SolidworksDrawings And Detailing
