Family table

Family table

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.5.0

I created a PRT family table, where my variants are two features, which I named "A," "B," "C" (Feature 1) via "post-regeneration" relationships, and "D," "E," "F" (Feature 2).
In some instances, feature 2 is suppressed, even though the "family table" displays "*" in the values ​​for feature 2, so "D," "E," "F." The table displayed in 2D inserts the generic values. (The 3D of the instance is correct, so feature 2 is suppressed.)
How can I fix this?

I really have no idea what you are trying to describe. Are A, B, C etc. the parameters/dimensions in the family table? Are the features in the family table? What do post-regeneration relations have to do with things?

An asterisk in the family table column for a particular instance means the values from the generic will be used. If the feature is not turned on, those values could be anything; they will not be used.

You need to make it clear what exactly you are trying to do, otherwise we'll not really be able to help with anything.

The attached images should clarify what I did and my problem

 

So you have parameters that are used to assign the values of dimensions in the features of interest.

Those parameters always exist in your model, even if the feature they are used for does not.

Therefore, their values in a particular instance will be shown in your family table, the generic values if you have an asterisk in the column for that instance. Try setting the value for one of the instances without Feature 2 to a different value, like 1.23 and you'll see that value in the table.

To get what you want you could use table relations as suggested by others, like @Dale_Rosema . Or a cruder way would be to add text parameters like txtD and txtE and either set them to text the same as the number you want to see, or "=" or whatever to show that for that instance E and D are not relevant.

My thought is that when feature 2 is suppressed it is referencing something (face, line feature...) on feature 1 that is not present when it is trying to create feature 2 and therefor cannot. So it doesn't know what to do and doesn't.

It creates the instances correctly, that is, feature 2 is not present, as can be seen in the Family table, in columns D and F an asterisk is shown, I don't understand why in the 2d table, it shows me the values ​​of the generic, even though feature 2 is not present in those instances

The asterisk means the value of the generic is the value of the given feature.

Are looking to have a N/A value in the column or something like that?

 

If so, you could right a relationship such that if the last column is "N" then the value of the "D" & "F" are "N/A" or "-".

Here is an example of evaluation of the value in the same column, but you could use this for evaluating the parameter that brings back the value "Y" or "N" in the last column.

This is a bit strange, because in table 2d it shows values ​​as if feature2 were present in the instance. It would make sense if it wrote "*" in table 2d.

In any case, how do I insert feature2 into the relationships? Do I have to enter the ID number?

Could you give me an example?

Did you get a chance to read through the link I attached? It shows how I evaluated if a certain part number was present and then substituted the "0.5" value for the part.

Yes, I read the article, and my question remains the same: how do I insert a feature into the reports? Considering that I'm in a PRT.
