Wildfire 2.0 || BOM Tables, "QTY" Balloon Symbols, & "rpt_qty

My challenge stems from Pro’s default “QTY” balloon symbol, which displays both Balloon number and Quantity number. I have no problem with this and desire displaying both values, except in the situation of Qty = 1.


I recently made a custom balloon symbol, similar to Pro’s default “QTY” balloon symbol. It looks great, only problem is “El Numero Uno” rearing it’s ugly head when Pro auto-generates a balloon for solo components. Simply put, it needs to be blank or invisible in the balloon.


It’s not important what the BOM table looks like, it will not be present on the drawing. If anyone has an alternate solution, please let me know. There’s definitely more than one way to skin a cat in Pro, my proposed strategies are what only seems logical to me. There might be a better way than what I’m focusing on.


So, I’m looking for “How-to” instructions for applying relations/filters for assembly driven BOM’s. My goal is for the parameter “rpt_qty” to return a “No-Value”, blank, or hidden when it reports “1”.


Keep-on-Keepin-on!

To add:

Let me clarify I've successfully applied relations/filters to BOM tables. So I'm not necessarily needing general insructions, per se.


Thanks!
