Hi,

 

1. Assuming you only use the part in one project, you could set up the qty used as an iProp and then pull that into the label.

 

2. If you use a leader to attach the sketched symbol to an edge of the part in the view, the symbol will pull properties from the part it is attached to. You can then set the leader to be invisible, and as a bonus the symbol will also follow the view around.

 

Good luck!
