Hello, I need to create the drawing of a part and on this drawing I would like to show the quantity of this part on an existing assembly. Is it possible to recover this famous quantity automatically?
Hello, there is no simple solution. For example, the assembly can be inserted outside of a drawing sheet to show the bill of materials.

To retrieve the quantity of parts in the assembly, it seems to me that you need a view of the assembly to retrieve the information. Without assembly you can't have a link.

As colleagues say, with the assembly outside of your drawing you bring out the nomenclature... It's good for an assembly of 10 parts where you hide the one you don't need. When you get to a big assembly it's already more complicated.
The "manual" way remains the simplest

Indeed this is what I read on the same subject in the forum.
What I'm trying to do is to get the code from the quantity column to put it where I want, but I'm asking for too much...
Thank you for your quick answers!

You can then hide or hide lines from the BOM simply by holding down the CTRL key and clicking the lines, then right-clicking delete them.

Or you can probably do it with a macro, but it requires knowledge of VBA programming.
Here's what I did:
On a drawing sheet I put a part
I inserted the assembly containing this part next to the sheet.
In this assembly I put a bubble aimed at my part.
In this bubble I didn't put article number but "quantity"
Then I create an annotation on my sheet
I mark "quantity =" and right after the equals I click on the bubble of my assembly
The number automatically slips into my annotation
I remove the circle to make it prettier and that's it
