BOM, Repeat Region, Swapping Models

I am starting a drawing from a drawing - SaveAs - lot of notes and other things that don't need to be redone.

I then add the new model and set it as active.

I have a BOM with a repeat region. For a lot of the other parameters in the drawing, I just erase the reference to the old model (usually :27 or something like that) and then when I press enter, the information from the current model (the one that is set at active) shows up.

Is there a way to do this for the BOM, else I have to delete it and bring it back in.

Thanks,

Dale

In the Table>Repeat Region menu manager click Model/Rep, then the repeat region and select the new assembly from the file open window to drive the repeat region. Watch out though - if you have parameters in cells in the table that are not in the repeat region they will not be driven by the new assembly.

Dale,

can you save a copy of your model with the option "rename_drawings_with_object both" set ?

If model and drawing have the same name the drawing will be created.

    I will test that shortly, but a quick question about the parameters.

    You are talking about parameters in the cells that are not part of the repeat region. Are you talking about titles and other cells? These would probably be changed by them method I described above where you would right click on the cell and the delete the model reference (i.e. :27 or something like that) and when you exit, it would point to the current/active model.

    Yes, that is correct.
