So I am trying to create a custom qty for my repeat region to feed into a BOM balloon.
The goal is I have a piping assembly and the pipe is clamped in several locations with various hardware attached to it.
I would like the custom qty to output the pipe length for the required part but the rest of the qty's should more or less stay the same.
I have created a custom relation that goes something like the following.....
IF exists("asm_mbr_pipe_segment_len_center")
QTY=asm_mbr_pipe_segment_len_center/12
ELSE
QTY=RPT_QTY
ENDIF
Meaning if it is a section of pipe it will output the qty in feet (Since my default parameter is recorded in inches). This is all fine and dandy.
I created my custom balloon and tied it to the respetive relations. However now my issue is I can create my symbol (For example my pipe is roughly 54 ft long) and it spits out the correct qty..... That being said this assembly also contains several clamps. I would like the balloons to be split so I can show a balloon for each clamp but using the custom qty relation means I can no long "split" the qty of different items.
Now every time I put a balloon down for a clamp it shows the total qty on each balloon (In my example i have 15 clamps and each balloon displays 15 in the qty field with no way to show qty 1 per balloon)....
So is there some way to create a custom qty balloon but still be able to split the qty's for regular parts?
