How to filter for pipe component in repeat region BOM table ?

[ppandarkar-2]

Hi..

I am having a piping assembly, in that we used some other parts rather than pipe component and want to place repeat region bom table without pipe component.

My BOM table should be come without fabricated pipe part.

Hi Prashant Pandarkar,

just put on your all piping parts new parameter called for instance PIPING, type of parameter is YES/NO and the parameter value is YES.

Than on your drawing go to table>repeat region>filters  click on table select By Rules and Edit,  then make a filter input as follows: &asm.mbr.piping != YES.

That should remove all your piping components from repeat region.

Hi Simon,

For this we need to add one additional parameter but we dont want to add any additional parameter as some pipes are in release vault ( PLM constraint).

As i know, we can filter skeleton component and will able to skip in repeat region table because of its type is skeleton.

So is there any way to identify that its pipe component. so we can add it in filter.

Thanks,

Hi Prashant,

OK, I understand.

Pipes are identified in Creo as PART type. There is no PIPE Type!

Go and see your pipe parameters. Find one parameter that has same value for all pipes, or it has as less as possible values.

e.g. GRADE. Then filter out by this parameter --> &asm.mbr.grade  != A or &asm.mbr.grade  != A, B, C etc

Hope this helps

Thanks simon.

This is working by searching common parameter for all pipes, i got STOCKNO parameter with value as PIPE which is available in all pipes.

So i can filter it for this parameter value.
