Hello there jddickson.
thank you for the reply.
The overall problem is how the production function at my work and they need it, so i'm just simply following orders...
but i found a solution and would like to share it!
This code take the total quantity of a part and put it on the part as a custom parameter, so when i create a drawing, it state how many they need to produce of the given part.
