I'm having trouble trying to create an assembly drawing that updates its own Cost field in the BOM.
So. I have right now:
Ibeam.ipt - parameter Length - 15 in ** model variable
- parameter UnitCost - 4.0 ul
- parameter ValueEa - (Length * UnitCost) 60.0
I move to the assembly drawing and want to create a Total Cost parameter
Assembly.iam
- parameter ValueEa - 60.0 **stolen from the ipt
- parameter QTY - 3 ** 3 pieces in the assembly
- parameter Total_Value - QTY * ValueEa
This final parameter is giving me grief! ValueEa will not translate into the assembly file. Is there a linking procedure i have to do? I clicked Export in the Parameter window. The QTY parameter is not working for me either. Am i not allowed to use it in a calculation?
