Hi,

if imported STEP creates an assembly, then you can user repeat region functionality.

Hi,

unfortunately, the description of the problem is insufficient. Please publish following:

• picture of assembly model tree
• picture of repeat region showing repeat region parameters

Note: When reporting a problem, it's always best to upload Creo data.

Hi,

please save the table into file with .tbl extension and upload it. I will check whether it works well. 

Try adding following string into any repeat region cell ... &asm.mbr.name

[BL_10341087]

when i added the string you suggested it put the name but only one for the first part. @Dale_Rosema noticed its because it is the only one in the top assembly. how can i change that?

Hi,

modify repeat region attributes ... instead of Flat use Recursive.

Note: &asm.mbr.numer_rysunku will work properly only in case that every model will contain parameter named numer_rysunku

[BL_10341087]

well... you can say it worked but i can now i can see every single part of subassemblies

Hi,

again the same meaningless description.

Please publish picture of repeat region and explain what is wrong.

i want to have for example just mdfbl-200-00 listed not every single item

If you want to create balloons from the sub-assemblies, the repeat region has to be set to recursive.

If you want to exclude certain components from the repeat region, use filters.

Hi,

if you want to show parts included in mdfbl-200-00 assembly then create drawing containing mdfbl-200-00 assembly, only and use Flat repeat region.

In addition, you can search youtube to bom table in creo

[Dale_Rosema]

When you mention "parts from the assembly" are you referring to subassemblies to the assembly, or subcomponents to the subassemblies? (i.e. children or grandchildren?)

[BL_10341087]

subassemblies

[Dale_Rosema]

From what I can see, you only have one part in the top level assembly:

how can i change that?

You have got two options:

• create drawings of sub-assemblies (self-explanatory - one sub-component -> one drawing, until you reach part level)

or

• insert a table with nested repeat region - https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS20903 

There are pros and cons to both of these ways of operation, so you have to decide.
