Drawing format: Passing relations for Part or Assembly

Goal: One drawing format which will populate specific data and not matter if the drawing model is a single part or an assembly.

 

Using a repeat region I am trying to pass model material along with a few other items into a title block.  I can successfully make this happen by

  1. Using 2 different formats so the repeat region calls out
    1. mbr/ptc_material/ptc_material_name
    2. asm/mbr/ptc_material/ptc_material_name
  2. Using 1 format, but making all drawing models assemblies so that the item 2 always is present.

Is there a way to use repeat region relations in order to have a single format with a repeat region which works if the drawing model is a part or an assembly?  I'm not sure if it is even possible, or if I simply am having an issue with syntax and formatting.

Try using

IF asm.mbr.type == 'prt'

use part parameters

endif

if asm.mbr.typ == 'asm'

use assembly parameters

endif

    Sadly, no such luck.

    The following relations will verify in the drawing of an assembly but does not work on drawing repeat region.  The same relations in a drawing of a part will not verify and result in errors.

    if asm_mbr_type == 'PART'
    test = mbr_ptc_material_ptc_material_name
    endif
    if asm_mbr_type == 'ASSEMBLY'
    test = asm_mbr_ptc_material_ptc_material_name
    endif
