Relation

Hi,

 

Can someone help me to create a relation in a bom to change a parameter to another number for cage_code? I have something at the bottom of the relation in the bom table that is obviously incorrect.

 

I have attached a simple drawing in creo 8. If you can perform the task and return to me then I will understand how it is done. Should only take a guru less than 5 minutes.

IF asm_mbr_part_number=="12345"
BOM_CAGE_CODE="96906"
ELSE
BOM_CAGE_CODE=asm_mbr_cage_code
ENDIF

 

The one additional step is to use &rpt.rel.bom_cage_code in your cell in the BOM.

Here are instructions to create the relations to change specific Cage_Codes. Hope this helps.

 

  1. Select “Repeat Region” from “Table” tab 
  2. Select “Switch Syms” then “Done.” 
    1. Double click on first item cell 
    2. Select rpt… then rel… then User Defined. 
      1. Type in Relation name- MY_CAGE_CODE 
  3. Select “Repeat Region” from “Table” tab 
  4. Select “Switch Syms” 
  5. Select “Relations” then select the table. 
  6. Enter text to make change required and select OK/Done. 
    • IF CAGE_CODE==30003 
    • MY_CAGE_CODE=CAGE1 
    • ELSE 
    • MY_CAGE_CODE=CAGE_CODE 
    • ENDIF 
  7. Select OK 
  8. Select “Update Tables” from menu then Done.  
  9. Multiple changes in a column can be done by nesting IF statements: 
    • IF CAGE_CODE =="12345" 
    • MY_CAGE_CODE="67890" 
    • ELSE 
    • IF MY_CAGE_CODE=="012345" 
    • CAGE_CODE="34567" 
    • ELSE 
    • MY_CAGE_CODE= CAGE_CODE 
    • ENDIF 
    • ENDIF 
      • One ENDIF for each IF statement
