How to show dual dimension for a part with family table in a repeat region?

Alternate Technique
-----------------

See resolution below.

Resolution
-----------------

1. Create a Repeat Region for family table Part without using 2D Repeat Region.
2. Add a Repeat Region relation for the required columns to show the dual dimension by selecting # Table > Repeat Region > Relations> #Select the Region >Add and add the relation as below.
If fam_inst_param_value<>0
convert=fam_inst_param_value*25.4
Endif
(In the above relation 25.4 is an conversation factor to convert the dimension from inches to mm)
3. Select the cell for which Repeat Region is defined, # RMB> Properties, in the Note Properties window, add (&rpt.rel.convert[.#]) below the &fam.inst.param.value
&rpt.rel.<parameter name> [.#], # - specifies the number of decimal places to be displayed for the parameter.
4. Update the table to show dual dimension.

I haven't tried this, I found the article on PTC site. Right now I'm pretty busy with my work but when I will have a little time I will try.


In the mean time try to make the same steps for a 2d repeat regionas described above. I think it should work don't see why not.


If you already tried this, what does it say, do you have an error message or something that is showing?
 
I tried to make it work for a 2d family table and it's not, I can create the relation add the parameter to the table but the value is not showing.


I guess that's why PTC has suggested to create this without using 2d repeat regions. So if it works without I don't see why you can't use this method.
