Having trouble making a BOM

Wildfire 1.0 I am making a BOM from scratch:

  1. Set up a table: a. Make table with two rows AND 5 COLUMNS b. The first row reads: column 1, "item" column 2, "qty" column 3, "part name" column 4,"part number" column 5, "material" c. The secound row parameters are: "item"=&rpt.index, "qty"=&rpt.qty, "part name"=&asm.mbr.part_name, "part number"=&asm.mbr.part_number, "material"=&asm.mbr.material

d. The second row is set to be the repeat region.

  1. Each part file in the assembly has the parameters, part_name, part_number, part_number, material

The Table fills out almost like I want it to, I get every item in the assembly, if there is 6 springs I get six LINES of springs, I don't get one line with a "qty" of 6. If there is multiple items they get listed each time and the parameter "qty"=&rpt.qty does not seam to be working.

Is there something I am missing? Do i need another parameter somewhere?

Rpt.qty is working as it should, you just don't have the repeat region set up to work the way you want it to. Go to 'Table>Repeat Region>Attributes' and set it to No Duplicates. Rpt.qty will then collect and total similar components.

Thanks David, that is what I was missing. Some day I'll have all the answers. :)
