Summary: A Part List on a drawing gives total quantities for individual parts of the whole assembly file, but the drawing view may be based on a view representation that does not illustrated all parts. Provide a filter for the part list to base the quantities on the view representation.

Description: A Part List on a drawing gives total quantities for individual parts of the whole assembly file. A filter is provided to allow the part list to be reduced to only show parts that are illustrated on a view representation. However, the filter does not limit the item quantities of the part list to the view representation item quantities. Instead it lists the assembly file total item quantities.
It is possible to override this manually. But when using a drawing view to illustrate a portion of an assembly process, it is less confusion and natural to expect the quantities listed to match the drawing view. This mismatch can occur when the same fastener is used in a large assembly and multiple views are used to illustrate it.
Provide a filter for the part list to base the quantities on the view representation, or change the current part list filter for view representation to include modification of the item quantity.
