You can`t do it directly with rpt.index.

What you can do is create new parameter in repeat region (rpt > rel... > User Defined > write something like: index_2).

Then go to Repeat region Relations and write: index_2=rpt_index+1.

so please can you suggest.

Lose the ampersand (&) in the BOM Balloon Parameter.

Hi,

you cannot set "origin" number of repeat region index to 2 using some configuration option. You have to apply some trick, for example create new repeat region parameter using repeat region relation.

Hi Martin,

Given link is working for me in repeat region table but how can i place bom balloons as per repeat region table.

i.e. whatever number is available to rpt.rel.myindex is need to apply for balloons in drawing view.

i am trying to give it in table properties but it is not accepting.
