Repeat region/Table with fam. table dims.

All,


I am looking to add a table to my drawing of a generic block with rows consisting of various instances of the generic. End goal: to have one drawing describe dimenions "A", "B", "C", & "D" of my block on corresponding columns in the table such that only one drawing can describe all instances.


I have had no luck locating options on the Table/Repeat Region/ drop down list.


Any help would be appreciated.
 
Thankyou!





I have actually gotten to this point and had some trouble organizing the content such that the repeat region is set under the format:


Family Instance DimensionA DimensionB DimensionC DimensionD


Name&n bsp;Value&nb sp;&nb sp;Value&nbs p; Value& nbsp; Value


and so forth. Instead, I am getting a matrix which consists of a 5x5 table for one instance,..followed by the next instance, and so forth.


Something flaky is occurring when I define the individual cells in the subregions.
 
Isair,

Thanks again for the info. I eventually managed to create my repeat
region and sub region so that I got what I needed. I simply had to re-
read the help information to fully understand that by creating a 2x2 table,
I can simply pick the bottom right field as the value field as my "value"
subregion from which the table will grow. Originally I was selecting the
same corners for my sub-region as I was selecting for my repeat region
(dough!)

I eventually went back and renamed the dimensions within the properties
field on the model and generated a clean table with dimensions labelled
cleanly with my "A", "B", "C" etc.
 
Glad I was of help
