relation driven values in repeat region

Is there a way to have relation driven values in a family table appear in a repeat region? I have a family table that contains 2 parameters, ID and OD. These parameters drive relations to determine dimensions for each instance of the family table. So far, I can create a 2D repeat region that contains the instance name and ID and OD values for each instance. I would like to add the driven dimension values to the table as well, but it looks like that is not possible with a repeat region.
 
Thankscharleskim, but I am not sure what you mean by add ID & OD in family table as driven value.


The ID & OD parameters are already in the family table. I don't have any trouble getting them to list in the repeat region on the drawing. What I want to add to the repeat region are the dimension values driven by the ID & OD parameter values thru relations.
 
You want to show other value (parameter) driven by ID & OD.


For an example if you want to show wall thickness.


In part relation, add a line "WALL = (OD - ID) / 2"


Add parameter "WALL" in family table and run Verify. This should fill the "WALL" value for all instances.


Show "WALL" in drawing table.


Hope this answers your question.

That works!

The users just need to be aware that the driven values cannot be set in the family table.

Thank you Charles.
