nathansmith50 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment
JBenghiat Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment
nathansmith50 Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 I know how to create a report. I'm assuming that creating a symbol containing other symbols is pull all of the symbols from the resource browser put them in place and create another symbol from that. assuming that's correct then yes I know how to do that stuff.
