We use a lot of sheet metal parts (real world not ProE sheetmetal)in our designs and our policy is to create the base part as a .prt and the part with PEMs etc. as an assembly. We typically only do a drawing of the .asm.
I am trying to automate a table that we can fill in the counter numbers on the hard copy drawing when the item is released. We also generate .dwg files for viewing by the production/QA users. (Yeah, I know we're still a few years behind).
The table below works fine for most parts, including weldments which include multiple .prts.I have a filter in place - "&rpt.rel.id == 2, 3" - which works because all of our sheetmetal parts' names start with 2 or 3.
The problem comes when I do assemblies. I want to filter by aequation of the form - extract(asm_name,1,8) == extract(asm_mbr_name,1,8).
I have tried different relation/filter combinations but have not found one that works. The table must be stand alone and look the same overall i.e. no relations in the drawing. If someone can think of a work around, please advise.
