Hi all
I have a really weird problem.
I have a model of a bolt. This model has a family table to create the various bolts with different diameters and lengths.
Now I want to attach an article number to each instance in the family table.
This article number must be shown in a BOM in an assembly drawing.
The article number is a string.
So I created a parameter in the generic model of type 'string'.
I then added the parameter to the family table.
So far, so good.
The family table looks something like this:
Diameter Length Article
--------------------------
M3 10 456-03-10
M3 12 456-03-12
...
Now the weird thing.
When I examine the parameter in an instance model, the parameter Article is of type 'real number'.
In the generic model, the parameter (with the same name) is still of type 'string'.
As a result, the article number is not shown in the assy BOM table, because this wants to show a real number.
How can I solve this? I am using WildFire 4.0 .
Kind regards
Eddy
