Help with BOMs......

    I have my startparts setup with the x,y,z dims relationed to
    parameters dx,dy,dz. Then a note in the model tree that references
    them (&dz X &dx X &dy). Then I have a NOTE type (not a string type)
    parameter (description) that references that note. This shows up fine
    in my drawing file BOM table but does not work in the assy mode BOM
    feature. My bom.fmt uses %description[-40] to try and reference the
    value I need, but that seems to only work on string type parameters
    and will not retreive the note type parameter info. Is there something
    I need to add to it to pull in the note type parameter info?

    Also, is there a way in the bom.fmt file to sort the listings by one
    of the parameters instead of being listed in the same order they are
    shown in the model tree?

    Thanks in advance.
