Override syms in repeat regions?

[Kithar]

I'm currently using WF3.0


I have simple boms like this;











rpt.index
rpt.qty
asm.mbr.PART_NUMBER
asm.mbr.DESCRIPTION_1

1
1
12345
CAP

2
1
12346
SPRING

3
1
12347
RETAINER


My problem is that for this paticular assembly there can be3 differant springs used in it.


Typically we put one of the specific springs in the assembly for cosmetic purposes on the drawing but would call out the four possibles in a second table, like this;











rpt.index
rpt.qty
asm.mbr.PART_NUMBER
asm.mbr.DESCRIPTION_1

1
1
12345
CAP

2
1
SEE TABLE 1
SPRING

3
1
12347
RETAINER









TABLE 1

PRESSURE
PART #

X
XX

X
XX

X
XX


In order to accomplish this Ihaveto remove the spring row from the repeat region, add it to the bottom of the table and manuallytype in all the info. Manually add the baloon for it (which is no longer associated to the repeat region).


Basically the whole process is sloppy.


Is there a way to just overide the asm.mbr.PART_NUMBER with "see table 1" without acctually updating the PART_NUMBER parameter in the model.

there is a roundabout way to do this but you need to add
a string (or alternatively a yes/no) parameter into the
model such as "see_tab1". then you need to add relations
to the table such as

if see_tab1=="" then
Part_Num=asm.mbr.PART_NUMBER
else Part_Num="See table 1"
endif

In the table your repeat region column name will need to
be Part_Num
If you give any value to the see_tab1 parameter then you
will get the note instead of the part number.

I might have the syntax a bit wrong here but you get the
idea.
