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.
Refer the link http://www.ptc.com/cs/cs_24/howto/dwt_no2d/dwt_no2d.htm for the Suggested Technique for Creating a Table of a Family Table Part Without Using a 2D Repeat Region
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. Edited by: vlad1979
