Repeat Region on the drawing is not showing PTC_MASTER_MATERIAL parameter

[mazaq]

Hi,

in Creo 10.0.3 I have included parameter PTC_MASTER_MATERIAL in family table in 3d part, while I am trying to create table which sows all selected parameters on the drawing PTC_MASTER_MATERIAL is missing. 

Can you please help me how to solve this problem?

Thanks!

What exactly are you looking for?  The master material has a lot of values.  I assume you are looking for the name of the material.  Below are the selections to get it.

asm..., mbr..., ptc_material..., PTC_MATERIAL_NAME

Unfortunately it is not that. What I need is the material of each instance from family table listed on repeat region table in drawing. In this case I am using options fam.inst.param.value (it shows all parameters), and then, using filters ( in this case: &fam.inst.param.name == PTC_MASTER_MATERIAL), I am showing the value of this specific parameter. Repeat region act as such parameter is not existing in family table.

I found following article: Article - CS336520 - 2D repeat region in drawing doesn't display information about PTC_MASTER_MATERIAL in Creo Parametric 7.0 but it seems to be solved for Creo 7.0. I don't know if Creo 10 faced the same problem.

Also according to documentation About Adding Material Parameters to a Family Table I can use PTC_MASTER_MATERIAL in family table, to select different material for each individual instance in family table. That is what I did. Unfortunately while creating Repeat Region on the drawing, to list all instances with parameters, PTC_MASTER_MATERIAL is not listed there. (please see screens from post)

Looking at a family table that I have, I was able to add the material parameters by using material... param... PTC_MATERIAL_NAME.

Hi,

Thanks for the answer. I had done investigation, and it seems that the parameter  PTC_MASTER_MATERIAL cannot be displayed on the drawing, despite it is selected in Family Table. Going through your answers PTC_MATERIAL_NAME worked, but it is hidden in legacy parameters, so while creating family table engineers needs to remember this issue. 

As exact solution to this case on the drawing, to show the material name, there is the filtering method used ( &fam.inst.param.name == PTC_MATERIAL_NAME), in family table repeat region.

Thanks
