Family Tables and BOM’s

[rullan]

I just completed a family table for common socket head cap screw sizes. I use various sizes and lengths in a number of sub-assemblies. Now I need to create drawings of the sub-assemblies with BOM's. Problem is, I need to show the part number of specific bolt sizes within eachsub-assembly. How do I set up the family table for the generic bolt so that each instance can be displayed with a unique part number in the BOM?

Hey hammerpe,


I tried adding a new parameter for the generic bolt called "part_no", but the problem is every instance of the generic winds up with the same value. For example, if I enter"123" as the part number for a 1/4-20 bolt, "123" also shows up inevery other instance of the bolt. Is there a way to add a column in my family tablecalled "part number" so I can manually add apart number or a description?

Thanks, I will try this.

The parameter needs to be blank for the generic, only fill in values for the instances.
