Exclude "Included" Models from Repeat Region

[BrettL.]

All,

I have done a bit of searching but have not found an answer.  Aside from a manual operation to exclude an item from a 2D repeat region, is there a filter that can be applied to a repeat BOM region that excludes a model that is set as "include" in the assembly?

Thanks
Brett

It may help if you give an example of what you are trying to do.

You can filter by rule.

Hi,

add following filter

&asm.mbr.name != part-2

I am almost sure that Included components cannot be filtered other way.

Hi Martin
I understand I can add the filter above as above but what I was looking for is a way to add the filter by the type as "included" since our engineers tend to add the ID master models to their assemblies that were created as non-skeletons subtypes which show up in our BOMS on the drawings.

Thanks

I don't think this is an out-of-the box functionality.

and so I think you have to develop a business rule and have the members of your organization follow it.

Tell your engineers to add a component level parameter to the included components and then filter out based on the value of that parameter.

For example:

The engineer assigns a string-type parameter "INBOM" and sets it to "NO" for those assembly components that should not be in the drawing BOM.

Then in the drawing, the filter is added to the repeat region table:

&asm.mbr.cparam.INBOM != NO
