Relations

[spkumar]

Hi,


In BOM table, I need to show the Part Name(Description) as different using Relations.


I don't want to update the Part Name in model asI will end up in tedious process of updating/Revising lot of drawings where the part is used.


Any kind of help is appreciated.


Thanks in advance,


SPK

You didn't say which parameter or symbol it is, however.... I assumed that you are talking about the objectname? As a fact it doesn't matter, the technique is the same for other parameters/symbols.


The easiest way is to create a parameter in your object. Like part_no or in Wildfire to edit the parameterPTC_COMMON_NAME.
When using the parameter in your repeat region your problem would be solved.....


However,... if you don'twant to change your objects, do the following.


In the relations of the repeat region write a relation:



custom_name = asm_mbr_name
if asm_mbr_name == "<the objectname thatshould be different in your BOM>"
custom_name = "<the objectname that you want to have>"
endif


You should also change one of the symbols in your repeat region.
Change asm.mbr.name in rpt.rel.custom_name


However the second solutioncould be very annoyingly because you must do that for each BOM-list.....
