Drawing Template and BOM table

Drawing Template and BOM table

Hi,

 

I have created a format and a template for creating new drawings. In the format I have created a BOM table with 2D repeat regions, so it automatically populates when an assmebly is added to the drawing. I then created a template that uses that format. The problem I am having is that the BOM table will not populate when I create a new assembly drawing using the template. If I create a new assembly drawing using the format the BOM table populates like it should. In my attempt to figure this problem out, I have tried adding a table to the template separate from the format and I still am not getting the BOM table to populate. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

Did you have the template in "Template" mode before applying the format to it or manually inserting the BOM?

yes, everything was added in the template mode.

Does the BOM work correctly if the table is manually added directly to a drawing (with the assembly already present in the drawing)?

Forget it. I forgot you already said it worked fine on the format.

What version of Creo are you running? I can do a quick test here....

I am using creo 2. If you can open them, I will send the files over.

Yes, I have WF5, Creo 2, and Creo 3 currently installed. Feel free to PM me if you don't want them public.

I would attach them here or in a PM but I don't see how to add a file...I only see how to add a link.
