hello all,
i am using the simple repeat region method to create a family table in my assembly drawing.
because of this i am using filters such as "&fam.inst.param.name == xxxxx"
however, in my assembly, i have the same part file copy pasted 4 times (they make a square within my assy) and each instance of the assy has different instances of that part file.
ex:
assy-1 has part-A, part-B, part-A, part-B
assy-2 has part-C, part-D, part-C, part-D
assy-3 has part-E, part-F, part-E, part-F
assy-4 has part-G, part-H, part-G, part-H
so if you notice, they have basically a top/bottom and side/side of the square for each assy instance.
when i use the 2-d family table it comes out correct, looking like the example but in table form, but i want to use the simple table because i want to change the top row names.
when i apply the filter like always, because the part file is named the same for all instances possible, i end up getting ALL 16 of the part instances for each component instance of the part within the assembly
so it ends up looking like:
assy-1 has part-A, part-A, part-A, part-A
assy-2 has part-B, part-B, part-B, part-B
assy-3 has part-A, part-A, part-A, part-A
assy-4 has part-B, part-B, part-B, part-B
part-C, part-C, part-C, part-C
part-D, part-D, part-D, part-D
part-C, part-C, part-C, part-C
part-D, part-D, part-D, part-D
part-E, part-E, part-E, part-E
part-F, part-F, part-F, part-F
part-E, part-E, part-E, part-E
part-F, part-F, part-F, part-F
part-G, part-G, part-G, part-G
part-H, part-H, part-H, part-H
part-G, part-G, part-G, part-G
part-H, part-H, part-H, part-H
i get all these extra rows of no assy nubmer but it has part instances.
i am hoping there is some kind of filter expression i can add to my already existing filter to further...well...filter my columns.
i hope this explanation makes sense, i am happy to share more if needed, i just cant post any screenshots of my work directly
