I see that there was a CS166827 that refers to this Creo Parametric 2.0 related question.
The open issue still pertains to me. I request to easily access the Session_ID of an assembly using Creo 2.0.
I have an installation with numerous instances.
I use a BOM table with repeat regions that display the parameter(s) &DASH_CODE and &PTC_COMMON_NAME
for each of those instances. So, I repeat the task of adding a BOM chart by toggling to the "next" instance and adding
Table From File
I have to Layout/ADD_MODEL (instance) to the drawing.
I open the instance assembly (master rep).
I employ Tools/Relations and Show/Session ID; MODEL INFO/Assembly/Top Level; read the message:
Model 47604928004.ASM has Session Id 1097.
Done/Return, OK to close out the Relations GUI.
Close assembly and return to the drawing.
Use Annotate; select the cell of the table; RMB to Properties/Text to append the &PTC_COMMON_NAME parameter with ":1097"
such that the cell reads: &PTC_COMMON_NAME:1097
Likewise for the other repeat region parameter-driven cells (i.e. &DASH_CODE:1097)
Then I repeat the task of adding another (instance) model, and add a Table From File that is "confused"
until the correct session_ID is appended to the parameter-driven cells in the table for each (color qualifying) instance..
That technique works every time, but it would be far easier to simply have a model tree column with the session_id displaying after each
Layout/Drawing Models/Add Model ... use the search filter with numbers of generic model... select the instance desired
Done/Return to leave the DWG MODELS menu
Model tree opens
If necessary, File/Load Settings to get the Saved column display (optionally named equivalent tree.cfg file) that could show me the
Top Level assembly's Session ID
Otherwise, it has been a tedious exercise to add another tabulated chart to the drawing and have that table correctly refer to the numerous (color) options.
