Hey
So here is my issue. I find out that i cant filter a partlist by code using a View Rep. Dont know why, but its not available. Alternative option is make a function that loops through each partlist row and turns off the row not required. That was great until i added another partlist on another sheet.......
BOM is set to all levels
Partlist 1 added top sheet1
each row is expanded then looped through to turn off the row as required
partlist2 is added to sheet2
partlist is added without rows expanded (as default)
all rows are expended
partlist1 rows are also expanded....
when you change the expanded state in a partlist, all other partlists are affected. When partlist2 is added without expanded rows, the rows that were expanded in partlist 1 are changed to collapsed. why? there are many reasons why we need to show different partlists for the same assembly especially when its all levels.
i havent found a way to add a partlist thats already expanded or filter a partlist to a viewrep with code.
is there a way to add a partlist already expanded? If not, the only real solution is to add both partlists then go back to the sheets and process them again. All would be ok if i didnt have a partlist on every sheet!
we add a partlist to each component sheet with all rows turned off except the row relevant to the part so that we can show quantities and BOM info. A right pain in the ass when the available API functions are limited for apparently no valid reason!
