Part param for model name

JonathanHodgson · ‎Jan 27, 2012

Pro/Experts,

Is there a model (part) parameter for the part name (or family table
instance name)?

In drawings we use &model_name, but that doesn't appear to exist in a
part.

Thanks!

Jonathan

rel_model_name() function (relations) returns the model name so you can do something like this in
your relations:
modelname = rel_model_name()

I have been investigating using model_name in repeat regions for assembly BOM with no luck. I would like to have column that points out parts' detail drawing reference and I thought model_name would be best since it is forced to be unique in Windchill

Has anybody been able to include model_name in a repeat region? Or possibly another way to include parts' detail drawing reference in a repeat regoin in a BOM?

TIA,

Scot
