Question

Parametric tables in Combined States for BOM in MBD

We have a parametric table that pulls the items and qtys in an Assembly and lists them in a table, pulling other parameters to be displayed (such as part number, description, special assembly instructions, ect...), but this only works in a .drw.  Is there a way to insert this table, or make a new one that can be used with Annotations in Combined states?

    I was attempting to do the same thing and was unable to figure it out. Can someone from PTC please confirm whether or not this functionality exists in Creo 4.0? This is a major roadblock in our efforts to move to MBD.

      Last month I took a PTC University training class "Intro to Model Based Definition using Creo Parametric 4.0" taught at Boundary Systems in Cleveland, OH.  It was their impression that since the tree is right next to the 3D Model in MBD, that PTC would not add this capability.  I agree that this is a MAJOR Road block to sell Management on MBD with Creo Parametric!

        We recently moved from Creo 3 to Creo 4. I had hoped the switch would bring this functionality, but it did not. I spent some time reviewing the 'What's New' documentation for Creo 5, and it seems that this functionality is still absent. I'm not sure why this is even a challenge to add, considering this capability already exists in Drawings.

          Hi there,

          I have the same issue with Creo 5.0.4.0.

          Since solidworks already implemented this feature at least in 2016, I assumed that Creo 5 would have catched up with this three years later.

          Sad they didn't.

            There is an IDEA related to what you are asking for:

             

            TABLE WITH REPEAT REGION IN 3D

            https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Parametric-Ideas/table-with-repeat-region-in-3D/idi-p/491179

             

            This IDEA was created in November 2017 and it is "under consideration", but there is not advance from PTC.

            Please vote this IDEA.

             

            Best regards,

            Amaia

              I tried messing around with this by making a custom symbol that has the form of a table that will pull the data from parameters of a part in an assembly. As off right now I only have figured out how to get it to pull data from the selected part. I made the notes in the symbol point to the same parameters that a BOM table on a 2D drawing.
