family table repeat region filters/relations

Is it possible to use only filters to achieve the desired result shown in fam_table_question.png?

I want to exclude the model features of the family table boxed in red, and keep the two (user defined) parameters.

Either as clarification, or a second question:

Can I modify my repeat region by selecting items and/or filters as displayed in the model Family Items menu shown in fam_table_question2.png?

Thanks for any help!

Hi,

define following filter to see 2 requested columns:

&fam.inst.param.name  == FIN, MAT

Interesting. I didn't know I could specify multiple columns with one filter. Presumably, they are put in the drawing table in the order of the names? Or is it in the order of the family table entries? I'll have to have a go at it to see. I've always defined my family table driven drawing tables with individual columns. The methods of defining these things is kind of weird, where you can, if not careful, end up with overlapping regions without intending to, and see some really bizarre results.

Hi,

I do not know how Creo determines order of columns.

Thank you to everyone for the assistance!  I received another suggestion as well.  I will try both methods and post my results.

Regarding column order of 2D repeat regions, I received this: 


With a regular 2D region, you're stuck with the original order used in the family table and have to suffer through moving and swapping columns to change it.
