: Some how the reference is not highlighted and I don't have a view to : select the protrusion. The active part envelops the protrusion with : blind holes.
I think a light bulb just went on ~ sounds like maybe you're having difficulty with the new Wildfire selection process. Maybe you miss the old RMB cycle through a query select list. Well, it's still all there, just repackaged. Preselect in the area of the geometry you want to reference, RMB click cycle through the geometry below; or prehighlight, then RMB the menu and select 'Pick from list' which will give you the old QS list of features Pro/e can drill through under the mouse pointer. If you can't pick the geometry you want, as always you help yourself out by zooming in (Ctrl-drag MMB)
: I have a drawing. I have created BOM (using repeatregion) and Balloon : (thro' repeatregion). The part names are random (I named it randomly). : I want to change the part names in the BOM without the Balloon getting : deleted. I changed the name by removing the repeatregion and all the : Balloons got deleted. I created them manually. Is there a soln to this : problem?
First, this depends on how you created the part names that are referenced in the BOM. If you had created them as parameters, you could have edited them in the BOM table just by click-highlighting them, then editing the values. If instead, you've used the asm.membr.name, these are taken from the system as the names of the files from which the assemblywas constructed. You could, with the drawing, assembly and parts in session, rename and save the parts and have the names of the components update in the drawing BOM. Or you could do this a level lower, in the assembly, with the parts in session, saving the parts/assembly. Then open the drawing, and the BOM should pick up the new values for asm.membr.name. Or, you would simply replace the format to which the BOM was attached and the new BOM would update with the new values. Once the new values in the BOM successfully regenerate, place the baloons again with 'Table>BOM Baloons' and pick the repeat region. Select whether to place 'By view', etc. and DONE. And, none of these involve doing it by hand.
