How to create single-line Parts List for Individual Parts Within

[Anonymous]

Hello.

Software used: Inventor Professional 2022.3.2, Build 350 on Windows 10 Pro.

Is it possible to generate a condensed parts list containing pertinent information relating to a singular part from an overall assembly? Please see attached for an image of something close to what I'm trying to accomplish.

For clarification: I have an overall assembly that contains a structural frame generated using Frame Generator. I've referenced that assembly in an .idw as a view and have created a Parts List based off of said view. In the same drawing, I'd like to be able to generate a table that targets a single component from within the assembly, and displays information pulled from the existing Parts List such as Item QTY, Description, and similar properties without the creation of custom iProperties within the parts themselves. I've tried a few potential solutions, listed below:

• Manual creation of multiple Parts Lists using the L.O.D. filtration shown in the Parts List startup dialog window
  • After reading up a bit on this, it seems the the L.O.D. filtration wasn't intended to affect Parts List, but to help Inventor perform on 32-bit systems.
• Manipulation of View Labels
  • This seemed promising, but I'm unable to access the ITEM QTY attribute or any attribute exclusively tied to an Inventor Parts List. Is there a way for me to access the ITEM QTY attribute or something similar in a View Label?
• Custom Balloon Symbols based off of Sketch Symbols
  • This seemed VERY promising, as it included all the necessary information relative to an existing Parts List, but the attributes associated with the custom balloon are just vomited onto the insertion point of the custom balloon, and so far as I've seen, there's no way for a user to customize how that information is presented in the sketch symbol. Am I missing something here?

I'm currently at a loss, as I'm not competent enough in iLogic to code something like this.
Any and all help is appreciated.


Regards,
JC

Have  a look at the ilogic code in this post here. It works by working down the partslist and adding the required info to the view label.

Your one will be different as you just want to take the information from the referenced model in the view as this post here will show. If you think that is something that would work for you, help is available on the customization forum to modify any code if you get into difficulty.

Hi! Based on my understand of your request, you would like to document individual frame member. The common practice is to open the top-level assembly and create Design View, isolating each frame member to be documented. In the PartsList, enable Design View Rep filter.

Or, you may document the frame member ipt file and create a single-line PartsList. But, you will not be able to get the item number from the assembly. It is because the item number resides in the hosting assembly, not in the individual parts.

Many thanks!
