Hiding specified value in a BOM

[kspabs]

I'm just looking to hide the value of a specific parameter value in my drawing. For example, something along the lines of

if asm_mbr_cagecode = "2233"

then asm_mbr_cagecode="    "

I have a few parts in my smart BOM that need this parameter hidden if they are a certain value.

Hi,

in repeat region relations you cannot change model parameter values.

Use relation similar to following:

IF asm_mbr_cagecode = "2233"
my_cagecode = " "
ELSE
my_cagecode = asm_mbr_cagecode
ENDIF

And put &rpt.rel.my_cagecode in the table column.

Awesome, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the help. I learned Creo just using dummy BOMs and manually doing everything, but since taking the time to learn how to use Repeat Region I've saved myself alot of time.

I have run into an issue when adding this relation. I have a split BOM, with the relation:

myindex=rpt_index+53

With the column parameter: &rpt.rel.myindex

After adding the cagecode relation my find numbers and quantities have broken. Entries that have been manually fixed to a value, the Find No and Qty have gone blank since adding the cagecode relation. Any clue why?

How did you create the split bom?

You should use Table/Paginate to split the table and the items numbers will continue as needed.

Awesome, this is great to know. I've only been working on Creo for a little over 2 years and it isn't too intuitive so I have a lot to learn still.

EDIT:

So even doing this on a brand new BOM table, it is still breaking the find number and qty on hardware in my table. Any clue?

Fixed this by changing the paramter FROM rpt.rel.num TO rpt.qty
