Multiline parameters for region repeatition tables

Multiline parameters for region repeatition tables

Multiline parameters for region repeatition tables

(OP)
Hello Everybody,

we have been using Pro/E WF2 for 1 year and we'd like to know how to add a parameter with multi-line text to be included in a table with region repetition feature. Let me explain with more accuracy:

_ let's say we have a .prt named JB.prt

_ we put this .prt file in an assembly with a table and BOM balloons

_ we'd like to create a table as follows:

-------------------------
Item | Name | Description
-------------------------
1     | JB   | Junction Box
       |       | Manufacturer: XX
-------------------------
 2   | Body | ....

And so on.

It would be nice to create a string parameter called "Description" to be put in the table with a pointer (for example &asm.mbr.DESCRIPTION) for our auto-filling table.
The problem I found is that the parameter can be only a string with a single line and not a multi-line text.

Is there anything that could satisfy our request?

Thanks a lot for your help

Bye

RE: Multiline parameters for region repeatition tables

You might not be able to create a multiline parameter, but there is nothing to stop you from putting 2 parameters in the repeat region on separate lines.
To be able to do that, you will need to highlight the cell, right-click & select Properties. You will then be able to add the second parameter on a new line.

Expanding on robertib's suggestion.  I think you'll be able to hide the extra line between the two cells so it looks like one cell.
