Hello all,

 

I have Repeat Region Table, with rpt_qty columns of 6 different Models (Assemblies).

There are few common & uncommon parts between all 6 models.
The one which are repeated are displayed in the Repeat Region Table, but the rest are left blank.

I want these blank cells filled with "-" (Dash) value.

I want to do this with using either Toolkit or Relations.

Please suggest a solution.

Thanks in advance.


Regards,
Pratik

Hi,

I think solution of your request is data dependent. Please upload Creo files.

I am skeptical that it is possible. Toolkit : No way. can give a try with Relation , but I doubt

just a thought.

use bulk items to fake non-existing components. use a part level parameter to mark the component as dummy one.

follow the recipe from tech support for repeat region relations:

How to show different quantity values for each assembled instance of a single component in Assembly repeat region BOM table 

repeat region relations would look something like this

if exists ("asm_mbr_dummy_parameter")

custom_qty = "-"

else

custom_qty=itos(rpt_qty)

actually, it is much simpler, bulk items are not needed...

 

take a look at the attached picture.

The 'hack' in this approach is to 'hide' the actual columns with rpt.index attached to the specific assemblies.

Does this mean you always show quantity from relevant parameters? In your case, three different parameters need to be added into each part and repeat region should be updated with three new columns with new parameters?

 

If my understanding is not correct, could you please elaborate how you achieved hyphen in BOM?
