Scott,

I see how this is similar to your idea. The difference would be that while yours has a BOM quantity of a part within an assembly showing in a balloon, mine is showing a count of the number of locations that a feature is placed at in a part detail. So, same concept, but one is for layouts and one is for details.

I suppose the gist is, Inventor can never be too parametric.

It also irks the heck outta me that the word "Chamfer" comes in with upper and lower case letters.

They should all be in upper case by default!

Celtic - you can change that easily.  Just go to the style editor, find your currently active dimension style, and go to the NOTES AND LEADERS tab.  You can edit all the dimensional notes there that have leaders attached.  I've got mine set so that CHAMFER is in all caps.

It would be useful to have IV automatically calculate quantities for fillets and chamfers like it does for holes.  Where I work it is not generally accepted to use typical notes for quantities.  If IV can calculate hole quantities for holes as winthin a single feature, pattern, or as a view why can't it do it for fillets and chamfers?

 

Thanks

I also think this would be extremely helpful.  Fillets should also be added to the list for the same reasons.
