Hi guys, I need to create a report filter in Pro/E WF4. In a big assembly I need to show only the subcomponents (those beside the red line) of a specific subassembly. I can't create simplified rap. How can i do???

Thx

I have been giving this one some thought. I would think it should be simpler like show only components for subassembly "x". But something that might work and be better than simplified reps in your instance is to try the following:

Under repeat regions menu manager select Flat/Rec. After selecting this select the repeat region you are wanting to change. make sure that the menu selection is set to Flat and select all of the subassemblies except the one for which you want to see the components. After doing this you should be able to use Filters either by item or adding rules to turn of the flattened subassemblies.

This would also work if you set the attributes to Flat as a default and the just made the one subassembly recursive before filtering the unwanted assemblies.

The only downside would be that if new subassemblies are added, then they will show up and you will have to flatten them and filter them out so they don't show up.

Hopefully this helps somewhat.

You can set your repeat region to the sub-assembly and filter out the components you don't want to show. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestion, but i can't do so, 'cause if I set another model in the report table, I can't put the bom baloon in the main assembly view...

Good point... The only other thing I can think to do is filter out the items you don't want one-by-one. That could be pretty painful. Sorry.

    No problem! I was happy to help out. I am not sure that it is the best solution, but at least you were able to continue with your drawing and maintain your repeat region.
