Ref Qty

[schick]

HELP!!


I'm looking for a way to override the rpt.qty value in a repeat region. When I make an assembly drawing I'd like to be able to have a qty of "ref" for parts that are there but included at other levels.


anyone have any ideas other than making ANOTHER parameter for every part?


Thanks for all the help/ideas.

type this in as a relation for the repeat region


IFasm_mbr_type=="0987654" (0987654 = your part number)


qty="REF"


ENDIF





EMAIL LET ME KNOW IF THIS WORKS I CANT THERE MITE BE MORE

Put a relation in your BOM table for a custom qty


custom_qty = rpt_qty


if asm_mbr_name == "CHANGEME1"
custom_qty = "0"
else
endif


The relation above says that all custom qty will equal the rpt_qty..however if you change the IF statement (changeme1) to the part number you trying to control, then change the custom_qty from "0" to the value you wish

Schick,





Both of these proposed solutions are messy in that they rely on someone
having to manually enter the correct data and in all probability, they
will get the data WRONG some of the time.



You should either look at doing multi-level B.o.M.s or making your
B.o.M.s recursive and filtering out the intermediate sub-assemblies
that you don't want to see.



I regularly employ the latter method as my 2000+ component assemblies
are 3 or 4 sub-assemblies deep because they are easier manage that way,
but the B.o.Ms are recursive so I can list the cap screws etc. all the
way down the chain.
