drawing relations

[Olya94]

I am creating a drawing template and want it to be independent. It will be used for one kind of models with some differences.

What I want is to populate the notes in accordance with some specifics
of the models.

I want to prompt user with a question whether a model has some specific components or not (take "yes" or "no" for an answer), and than add to drawing specific notes.



I created a table which will contain all notes with repeat regions with parameters for each line (&rpt.rel.a1 thru &rpt.rel.axx), created parameters
and relations to pass required notes to the table in accordance with model specifics.

I created parameters in Tools-Parameters, and also as a local parameters in
Table-Repeat Region-Relations- (select repeat region)-Parameters-Add Parameter.
This is an example: (name) (type) (value)

RODE string yes
SHAFT1 string yes
SHAFT2 string yes

In the relations I refer to the parameter this way:
if RODE == "no"

a1="xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
a2="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
.
.
.

endif

But it does not
populate the table.



I also trying to figure out how to create prompt to ask user "Does the model have Rode? " and so on.

Is anyone can help?

You can use Pro/Program to create prompts. However, if the other items you want to have in this drawing are usually all contained in a part, you can create a template.prt to go along with the drawing template with all these items in it. Just name them the same. (ie. template_special.prt, template_special.drw.
