Family Table Displayed in Drawing

Family Table Displayed in Drawing

Family Table Displayed in Drawing

(OP)
Does anyone know how to display a family table in a drawing.

RE: Family Table Displayed in Drawing

All you have to do is follow these steps

create a table with a repeat region

select to enter text into the table using the "report sys" function.

To get the names of the instances you need to use
fam ,inst , name

Then go to repeat region, attributes and select
"No duplicates" then done.

If you want to enter the family tablr parameters then insten of entering fam , name into the repeat region enter
fam, inst, param
and then choose from either
Id
Name
or
Value

RE: Family Table Displayed in Drawing

If you want to show the family table rows and columns, the table needs a 2D Repeat Region.  Here is my post again:

2D repeat regions are used to display Family Table information, since your repeat region will grow in 2 directions showing the instance names, selected FT items, and their values.

To create one, make a table with four cells (four is the smallest, you can make them bigger);

**********************
*   (1)   *     (2)  *
**********************
*   (3)   *     (4)  *
**********************

Pick REPEAT REGION, and pick 2D REGION.
Pick the cell #1 and #4 as the first repeat region.
Pick the cell # 2 and # 4 and the second repeat region (expanding horizontally).
Pick the cell # 3 and # 4 as the third region (expanding vertically).

Now select REPORT SYS and enter the &fam.instance.name in cell # 1.
Enter &fam.instance.param.name in cell # 2.
Enter &fam.instance.param.value in cell # 3.

This will give something like below:

                  d1       d2    Param
Instance Name1    0.25     1.25  ABC123
Instance Name2    0.35     1.65  ABC987
Instance Name3    0.45     9.25  CBA123
Instance Name4    0.25     6.55  DEF123

Thanks for the quick response guys, it works as you say. The table seems a little fragile though, when deleting or adding instances from the family table, the table in the drawing reverts back to its original 4 box status, but with the correct information in the boxes!! Does anyone else have this problem?
