Question

IFX ANSI-English Hardware

I am trying to get both the quantity and the description to populate my table reports when using ANSI-English hardware. My QTY column is set to rpt.qty. I have a column labeled asm.mbr.description.

It is a great product and easy to use and would like to have all my users use it.

In Windchill when looking at structure of an assembly or in Creo on the face of a drawing?

 

Explain in more detail what you are trying to do.

 

If you have admin rights in Windchill, you can share a table view to all users.

If it is a Creo table, save the table to an external file and put it in the Table folder under your settings that all users can then read and place on a drawing.

My issues is that the hardware used from IFX does not appear in my BOM

See image below:

I am pretty sure that the text file for the hardware needs to reflect what my repeat regions are set to look for from the hardware part file.

See image below:

I do not want to change any of my parameters in my repeat regions on the drawings

If you have the full license to IFX, you can modify the template files behind IFX and add the parameters you need to drive your BOM table.

Alternative is to open an IFX file and see what parameters are in it and then create a secondary BOM table for IFX hardware using the built-in parameters.

 

This is one reason we use our own family tables for hardware instead of IFX. I can set the parameters we want and built the BOM table accordingly.
