Set a value in "QTY" Bomlist

[gma]

Hi,

I have this Ilogic code to find "BandL in subassembly''s in my assembly :

Dim total As Double = 0
Dim adoc As AssemblyDocument = ThisDoc.Document

For Each occ As ComponentOccurrence In adoc.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences
        Dim val As Double
        Try
               val = Parameter(occ.Name, "BandL")
               total = total + val 
        Catch
        End Try
Next occ

MessageBox.Show("Total length: " & total)

I need to set the "Total" in to a "Part" QTY in my assembly bomlist.

The filename of the part is different, it depense of witch type i need. But the part filename contains S1100 or S2400 and it is a content center file

How do I do that?

Regards

You could set "Base Quantity" in your parts to the parameter "BandL"  (Tools -> Document Settings)

then inventor will automaticaly set the total value in the "QTY" column.

"BandL" comes not from a part. It comes from a rule(parameter) in a subassembly.

I Count alle the "BandL" manuel in the subassemblys and set the total value in the bomlist in my top assembly.

I need a rule for that.

A part or (sub)assembly is not different. Also the "Base Quantity" in a (sub)assmbly can be set to a parameter "BandL"

and why do you do that? why don't you use the merge function in the bom?
