I think I need glasses to see past the blurry screen

Try to make another screenshot, because I can't help you until I see what's going on. And I don't understandwhat's the problem. Try to clarify...


But first see if this post is of any help:

I have a zip file containing the dwg, assy, and parts. How can I upload for all to see?

Thanks Vlad for the help!

unfortunatelly I can't open them, I think you are working on WF3, I have only WF2.


But try to make a screenshot, just hit the printscreen button then paste the screenshot into a picture editor. You can even paste this in "paint" then save as jpeg and upload the picture same as the files but use the button on the left.

the pic is getting distorted during uploading, I don't know why. Hopefully it is good enough to see what is happening.

OK I can see the pic a little better.


Now tell me what's the problem, what do you want to do and it's not working.

I'm trying to list matl, matl desc, length, and width as user-defined parameters. They are set-up in my starter parts and when I add the table cell value to be mbr.user defined and enter MATL, it adds it as a seperaterow at the end of the table. I'm confused by this and hopefully you are not.

I don't know how you created the table but here is how you do it. I believe that's a assy you want a BOM for it. Again all the info is in that link I put in my first post.


But anyway create a table 2 rows and 7 columns then create a 2d repeat region (look at that link to see how to set up a 2d repeat region) then in the second row you write in each cell &rpt.index , &asm.mbr.name, &rpt.qty, &asm.mbr.description, &asm.mbr.length, &asm.mbr.width


You have to create all these parameter in your parts and fill them with values except the system parameter index, qty and name.

 

[tomahawk350]

that was the problem. I was using &mbr.matl instead of &asm.mbr.matl.


thanks!!!
