Part and Assembly drawings, Title block material.

Part and Assembly drawings, Title block material.

I’d like to have one drawing format for both part drawings and assembly drawings. Drawing size formats, B, C, D, E inclusive. In the title block, of a part drawing, there is a table cell with “&PTC_MATERIAL_NAME”. When the part is assigned a material, this cell automatically gets filled in with the material name.

  In the assembly drawing the BOM table, material column has “&asm.mbr.ptc_material.PTC_MATERIAL_NAME” as the repeat region and works correctly by assigning the proper material from the part. This leaves the title block material cell blank, as assemblies do not recognize the “&PTC_MATERIAL_NAME”, in the assembly parameters. I would like the title block material cell to be fill in automatically with, ‘SEE PARTS LIST”.  And still work for parts. Then also for sub-assemblies to display “SEE PARTS LIST”.

Your help is most welcome.

Dan Pasholk‌, use a single cell repeat region with relations.  You can easily construct the repeat region relations to display "SEE PARTS LIST" when the PTC_MATERIAL_NAME parameter is empty (or doesn't exist).

See this discussion for how to create the region:  Re: Creating a note that fills in model parameters automatically

See this discussion for an example of repeat region relations:  Re: Help with coding inside a bom table

Success!!

if asm_mbr_type == 'PART'

     my_matl = asm_mbr_ptc_material_ptc_material_description

else

     my_matl = 'SEE PARTS LIST'

  endif

But I had to use single quotes to pass verified. I do not get that. Only took a day to find that out!
