Word Wrap

[jamesbewley]

I have just been creating a format that atomatically fills in using the parameters I set up in the models.
i.e assembly bom using repeat region
One of the parameter stings is quite long and dosn't fit into the table cell. As it is a repeat region I dont seen to be able to wrap it.
Any idea's why not or a diffrent way to do it.

Many thanks

James

The only way I've found to wrap long strings in a repeat region is to break it up into different parameters. For instance, If I put &partname&dashname as a parameter string into my title block, if I wrap text, proE will put the &dashname string under the &partname string. I guess if you break your string into a number of different parameters, wrap text would create a separate line for each parameter string if any of them are too long to fit the table cell. I have yet to find a way to wrap text for one parameter.

Thanks for the reply.

I came to the same conclusion.
Instead of just having the parameter "material" I have split it up onto "material1", "material2" & "material3".
It seems crazy to have to do this but it is effective all the same.

Cheers for having a look.

Hello,

We had a similar issue with one parameter being too long for the table so the solution we had was to create a two line BOM.

We went from
ITEM | DRG NO | PART DESCRIPTION | REV | QTY |
1 | 12345 | THE DESCRIPTION | REV 1 | 5 |

TO

ITEM | DRAWING NUMBER | | |
NO | DESCRIPTION | REV | QTY |
1 | 12345 | REV 1 | 5 |
| THE DESCRIPTION | | |

With CENTRE and MIDDLE adjustment for the ITEM NO, REV and QTY, the BOM looks acceptable.

The table is created in exactly the same way as a single line table.
