Changing Part Quantity
Often small components like fasteners are assembled only once, even though they are used several times when you assemble the product. This is commonly done in large assemblies to make a reference; and improve the rendering performance in the CAD tool by only having the small component rendered only once. In this case, you can manually modify the quantity in the Part structure. To change the quantity of a part in a structure:
1. In the Structure pane or Uses tab, select the part in the structure whose quantity you want to change.
2. Select Edit Usage Attributes from the toolbar.
The Edit Usage Attributes window opens.
3. Change the value of the Quantity field to the number desired.
4. Select OK.
The part quantity is updated in the structure.

By default, additional quantity does not participate in the build process. If you wish to add these additional occurrences to the corresponding CAD document structure, then you must create occurrences for the new quantity and set their build status.
