Balloon for assembly with qty as AR

[element]

We are using WF2...
We also use "BULK ITEMS" -ie grease, Loctite etc that need balloons at different locations about the drawings but with qty as AR. We currently do these manually and of course this means that the balloon numbers for these BULK ITEMS are not generated by the BOM.

I have made a "BULK ITEM" that has some small geometry to it - so that a balloon can be generated by the BOM. I have the BOM report the qty as AR by doing the following..

part needs a parameter added called 'BULK' string, value "yes or no"
table>repeat region>relation


if asm_mbr_bulk == "YES"
quantity = "AR"
else
quantity = rpt_qty
endif

In the table set the report parameter to rpt.rel.quantity

But of course the balloon reports the qty as 1, 2 or 3 depending how many places I have the "loctite" inserted.
Is there a way that I can have the item number correctly generated by the BOM but the quantity on the balloon as AR?

Thanks

Here is what I use:


If asm_mbr_pn == "whatever"
my_qty = "A/R"
Else
my_qty = rpt_qty
EndIf


Replace "rpt.qty" with "&rpt.rel.my_qty" in repeat region.


Seems you are missing the &
