Hide header row of 2D repeat region OR change header text

I am trying to hide the header of my 2D repeat region because the header descriptions are from the family table items that were added whether they're dimensions or parameters or what have you. This won't work because for example the parameter "thread_size" shows up as just that where as my company would like the column header to be "Thread Size" (notice the space between the words).

So I would like a solution to my problem, is there either a way to change what the column headers are for 2D repeat regions OR is there a way to just hide that row so I can add my own row above with the proper headers that I would like for the table column descriptions?

Thank you.

    I'm not trying to "fool" the system, due to the limitation of what names can be I would like the column header to be something besides "Thread_Size". I've never seen any Engineering drawing which contained column identifiers which had underscores in their name. My column headers need to be things like "PRIMARY RATING AMPS", "BURDEN RESISTOR LOCATION", and "PRIMARY RATING AMPS".

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding how to accomplish what I need, is there a way to add an item to a family table that has spaces in their name?

    UPDATE: as long as when you make the text style .000001 also ensure that it's center justified vertically and the little "tick marks" will disappear.

    Daniel,

    There is no direct option to hide header row for 2D Repeat region table. However there is an alternate option which can help you to achieve this, as:

    1. Create a table of 3 rows and 2 columns (First row will use for custom names params, e.g Thread Size)

    2. Make 2D repeat region using last two rows and insert the report parameters

    3. Select text for fam.inst.param.name > Properties and set height as 0.000001 to make negligible text visibility

    4. Select 2nd row and set height as 0.00001, it will reduce the height of row to negligible.

    5. Enter custom names for Parameters in row 1.

      I am just wondering if you can modify a BOM table to act like the table you are looking for.

      Something about having to fool the system just doesn't sit right with me.
