Summation of weight parameter in repeat region not taking into account qty of bom item

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.11.0

I am trying to add a weight per piece column into our bill of material in the repeat region on our drawing format. I successfully added a column that pulls from our weight parameter in the part but when I add the summation to the repeat region for total weight it only adds the weight per piece once and is not taking into account the quantity of the part.

I also would like to know if it is possible to put this summation into a different table in the drawing that is not part of the repeat region. I tried adding the summation string to another table in the drawing but it does not work like intended. I can type the parameter into the drawing manually and it adds it but not permanently in the format.

Lastly would like to make it so that the balloons are always set to "QTY SPLIT" when making a new drawing instead of having to change it.

Hi,

answer to Q1:

1.] add relation into repeat region ... full_weight = rpt_qty * asm_mbr_weight

2.] add new column into repeat region ... &rpt.rel.full_weight

3.] add summation to above mentioned column

 

answer to Q2:

AFAIK summation formula belongs to specific repeat region. You cannot place it into separate table.

    Thank you Martin. If I want to keep the column in the repeat region as weight per piece is it still possible to add this relation and do a summation in another way? The company that owns ours does this and I can't seem to figure out how they do it. Unfortunately, the person I used to ask for these things is no longer with the company.

     

    In regards to Q3 this is a config change then and not a drawing template change?

    Hi @KD_01_12152530 

     

    Will it be possible for you to share a sample data to check how was it done?

     

    For summation of weight of all instances, a column is required which can further be used to calculate total weigh.

     

    Thanks.
