calculate Coating for assembly

[GHASEM_ARIYANI]

How to calculate the The amount of coating on the surface of a model assembly. for exampel paint.

Go to Output tab, BOM templates and under Assembly lists run the Assembly List template and you will get the paint area.

If you want this to appear on your drawings then you will need to modify your title block to insert the material list you want. I use the assembly drawings with the Assembly list and that is sufficient for my customers.

Is there a way to get the same results on the drawing lists? I tried making a modified material list on the drawing that shows the coating area: %Paint   Which gives me the paint area per part, and I can do a %Sumby:%Paint to get the total at the bottom of the list. But if there is more than one part in the assembly (for example 4pcs connection clip) the area is off, it only returns the value for one piece, not the total quantity. I tried %PaintInAssembly as well but that yields identical results. 

What is shown in the example above is what I'm after, coating area per part, summed for each set of identical parts, an totaled at the bottom of the list. Only I'd like it shown on the drawing list itself.

Is this possible?

Thanks.
