Repeat Region -> Filter -> Rule --- Filter by Simplified Representation

Is there a way to filter repeat regions regions using a rule that filters by simplified representation?

 

IE: &asm.mbr.representaion == "step1"

 

The use case: 

We show assembly steps in drawing sheets.  IE sheet 1 = step 1, sheet 2 = step 2, etc.

Using simplified reps / repeat regions we show a BOM and Balloons only for each step.   (Steps 2 only shows BOM information for Step 2, not step 1 or 3, etc).   Looking at step 2, the repeat region will automatically filter step 3+; to filter Step 1 initially we 'filtered by item'.  Then we started 'filtering by rule'.  (ie &asm.mbr.name == "PN123") for each part in step 1.   This was slower, but improves maintenance (when part are added to the ASM, etc)
Additionally qtys doesn't work well with this method.  IE if you use a 1/4 bolt on step 1 and step 2.

If there was a way to filter repeat regions by simplified rep or by another repeat region  this workflow would be fast and easy to maintain

 

 

Using Creo 9.

Hi JS,

I think you could request this functionality inside Product Ideas
