rpt_qty

It is possible in an assembly to extract automatically a parameter that
represents how many times a particular item is present in the same
assembly? In the repeat region of the module detail there is the
parameter &rpt.qty, but I do not succeed to employ it in some way
outside of the same table...

 

With the assembly open, do 'Info>Bill of Materials'. This produces a report,
with quantities for each part, that can be saved as an html file. I know of
nothing in Pro/e that loads this quantity information into a part/assembly
parameter. I'm also pretty sure that the Pro/REPORT parameters which you use
in a BOM table, like rpt_qty, don't communicate this information to other
modules of Pro/e, such as Pro/PART or Pro/ASSEMBLY. There might be something
along these lines in J-link, if you know Java programming, can get it set up
properly and find documentation for it.

What is the object of the game?

I'd be mildly surprised to find that there is a
quantity count maintained except in repeat regions and
I don't believe there is a way to access anything like
a rpt_qty:cid_xx:repeat_region_id_xx without resorting
to some custom programming, j-link, etc. (If then.)

You could probably automate the process of counting
instances ... Search tool, rule governed layer, etc.
for one shot / manual update or semi-auto-associative
tallies.

You can also, by filtering, create single cell repeat
regions that report only the quantity for a given part
number component.

Knowing the goal would help anyone that wants to
conjure up another near miss or two, maybe even a
bullseye if you get lucky. `;^)

 

hi, roughly it is like this, you need to explore further. in the repeat
region table, right click to get into the properties menu of the table
there you can set "duplicate" or "no dulicate" if you set to duplicate
at component of the same filename will be sum up and the quantity
display under the rpt_qty column.
