BOM balloons, repeat region, relations

Hello,

When I'm adding relations to repeat region they don't work.

For example I added:

   if ASM_MBR_TYPE=="Bulk item"
     QTY=5
   else
     QTY=rpt_qty
   endif

 

and the qty of bulk items is not changed.

 

Also I want to have a possibility to add more simple BOM balloons to bulk items and other items, without REF balloons, because they don't merge and it's a problem for me, I tried a lot of ways to make it and it don't work also.

I will be grateful for any help 🙂

I'm not sure you can change the 'rpt_qty' value directly, I think you have to use your own parameter, like 'qty'.  For this to display correctly, you have to call this parameter out in place of rpt.qty in the table.  For example:

Hi,

Still my relations don't work at all. I don't know how, because I have properties in repeat region ->relations->local parameters, and when I add other table with type (part/bulk/assembly) it's shows proper type. I don't know where is the problem.

But thanks, I think it will help, when I repair relations problem.

Can you either share your drawing and models or take screenshots of the repeat region relations and the repeat region table cell parameters?
