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.

2. 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. :)
