Adding assembly part number and total weight in to part list columns.

[Anonymous]

Dear all,

Need you help, Because I'm not expert in VBA or rule.

in my case I have multiple iam in one idw and i don't want to each .iam part list.

I just wanna to each .iam part number and total weight in part list table format. (like:- you can see pic.).

of course this was I have manually editing.😉 

also I have got rule from Autodesk forums but this rule working on part list title☹️.

so, request to you all please check attachment and help me.

Hi! This is doable but not as intuitive as it should be. Inventor PartsLists are built on top of assembly BOM table, which is about the list of all components within the hosting assembly, less about the hosting assembly itself. As a result, there aren't workflows adding the total mass from the hosting assembly's perspective.

You can simply insert Assembly1 to yet another assembly. Then the PartsList based on the new assembly will contain the total mass of Assembly1.

I believe iLogic will work too. You should never override the values like that unless it is absolutely necessary.

Many thanks!

Thanks Johnson you are right.

but need I-logic code because in my organization working culture same like as i explain in above forum.

so, request you to if you have any person who is expert in I-logic code please suggest.

Hi! We have plenty of iLogic experts on the forum. For this case, you can also do it via creating a table like sketch symbol. Please take a look at attached file. It does not require iLogic in this case.

Many thanks!

it's....good......👍.i like your solution.

Thank you so much,

it working for me but could please you guide me how to attach sketch symbol assembly 2?

because when I taken your sketch symbol they taking from assembly 1.🤔

Thanks in Advance.

Hi! To show Assembly2 in the sketch symbol, you will need to move the assembly2 view and its partslist to a different sheet. The sketch symbol assumes only one model source per sheet (the model of the very first view on the sheet).

Many thanks!

Dear Johnson,

Thanks for your reply.

sorry , but in my case we have multiple iam in one idw(only one sheet).

so in that case how? that why we need i-logic code.

REGARDS,

Hi Ravi,

In your case, you do need some customization. The example I showed relies on the view source model on the sheet.

Many thanks!
