Question

REPEAT REGION FILTERS BY PARAMETER VALUE

Dear All,

 

I'd like to filter 2d repeat region table for family table by value of parameter ,for an ex.

  • If certain parameter has a value of Y then row should be removed from the table /in drawing/

Same result I may get from filtering by instances by name

  • By additional suffix &fam.inst.param.name ==*x* or manual instances indication /what is limited by  character count in single line to 80/
  • But it is inconvenient / cumbersome
    • I have large family tables 100+ instances
    • Changes in filter, requires to change instance name - that has to match erp data
    • If few filters /few different tables are needed in drawing to show different variants/ are to be applied then fam. inst name is getting long and cumbersome
  • Filtering by parameters' value is desirable.

Software - creo 4.0

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

 

Regards!

    Dear Martin,

     

    I'm happy of getting your feedback.

     

    In an attachment, please find an example - a reference model /with examples parameters/, a drawing with tables - as you have requested.

     

    Thank you in advance for your support,

     

    Regards!

    Hi,

    below mentioned solution is related to my current knowledge. I think that Creo functionality is limited and you have to use some kind of trick.

    I added new parameter MUJPAR into a part (two string values are allowed YYYYY, NNNNN ... these values are used on MUJPAR, only).

    I created new table containing 1 main repeat region and 4 nested repeat regions - see picture below.

    rr1.png

     

    main repeat region ... whole table

    4 nested repeat regions ... one region per column

    cell[1,1] ... &fam.inst.name, filter &fam.inst.param.value == YYYYY

    cell[2,1] ... &fam.inst.param.value, filter &fam.inst.param.name  == DIA

    cell[3,1] ... &fam.inst.param.value, filter &fam.inst.param.name  == LEN

    cell[4,1] ... &fam.inst.param.value, filter &fam.inst.param.name  == PARAM_1

    cell[5,1] ... &fam.inst.param.value, filter &fam.inst.param.name  == PARAM_2

     

    The table displays instances which have MUJPAR parameter value set to YYYYY.

     

    In rr_filter.prt part instance MUJPAR parameter value can be set manually.

    You can also:

    • open family table in Excel
    • copy table contents into externally launched Excel sheet
    • compute values of MUJPAR in externally launched Excel sheet
    • copy computed values back into family table 

    See attachment.
