Simp Rep Name
Simp Rep Name
(OP)
Ok, here's one.
I need to use the Simp Rep name that was created in my assembly, and have this name placed in a drawing. Much like placing the model name (with &model_name). I cannot find a system parameter that calls the simp rep name.
Anybody come across this?
Thanks for you help.

RE: Simp Rep Name
Unfortunately there is no parameter associated with simplyied rep names in PRO/E.

RE: Simp Rep Name
Your problem is intersting. I gave you a "*" for it. I studied it a little bit and I found a temporary solution. I have a good news and several "bad" news.
The good news:
I created a small program which is able to read the simplify rep name of an assembly and to assign this name to a parameter (let's say srep_name). I can add this parameter in drawings with the standard "&srep_name".
The bad news:
The parameter does not change value when you change the simplify rep and regenerate the assembly. To do that I must run once again the little function I added in Pro/E.
For several simplified reps in your drawing, the problem becomes more complex.
I think one solution is to count the simplify reps and tell to the program to add a parameter for each rep, if you have few simplified reps. These parameters (srep_name_1, &srep_name_2 ...) can easily be added in the drawing sheet. But if you have many simplified reps, then will be a little bit difficult to manage all these parameters.
I'm still thinking to find out a better way to solve the problem, because I need to put these names in my drawings, too.
Tell me what do you think.
Thanks,

RE: Simp Rep Name
Thanks for your help. I had a similar thought process about having different param's for each simp-rep., but that too got messy. You get a star too!!!
I am still looking for a clean answer. Keep you posted.
