ok,ok -- I know this has been asked many times before, but for the life of me I can't find a summary of postings. Just single emails asking the same thing and no responses... (I will post a summary with all responses once the dust clears)
Using WF4 M050 -- I cannot add balloons to a view with a supposedly assigned repeat region. I get the Invalid View for BOM Balloons error. No matter what I've tried I can't get this to work. I understand ( I ~think~) how repeat regions are tied to models/reps. I have narrowed the problem down to trying to place 2 views.
Here's how I'm setup...
ASM1.ASM
REP1
REP2
REP2 also shows some parts in REP1
Create a drawing. Drop in View1 with REP1 on sheet 1. Create Table with Repeat Region and show balloons = ok. Drop View2 with REP2 on sheet 2. Create Table with Repeat Region -- note: table displays correctly with only parts from REP2 -- Show balloons and I get the Invalid View error. huh?
Further testing... So maybe it's the format/template? If I go to Table > BOM Balloons > Set Region and try to reset the REP2 region I get the error "There can only be one BOM balloon region in a view template". The drawing was created using a template, which had a view and table as part of the template. So--I created another drawing using no format and just Size. Did above view creation and presto, both views created ok with correct table each.
So is the problem my format? Or am I missing something?
thanks for your help and suggestions.
