Relative newbie question creating symbols


Recommended Posts

So I need to create a symbol...that is made up of other symbols...and have it count each of the "sub symbols" when I run a report.

Example:

I put in a deck. Then I put in 2 Leg frames 1 at a time. Then I put in 4 Snap Braces 1 at a time.

I want to create a symbol of that so I don't have to insert each part individually but I still need the piece count for each individual piece.

I'm sure there's a very simple way to do this but like I said I'm relatively new.

Have you figured out how to make a symbol containing symbols and how to make a report?

In the report's worksheet, you need to edit the database criteria. See the VW help section Worksheet Commands, and look at "Edit Criteria." Check "Symbols" box in the "Including components of" section.

HTH,

Josh
