How to dash a non-bulk item in my BOM

I've got a part in my assembly that I want to list in my BOM as having
qty "-". This wouldn't be a problem except that this part is not a
bulk item. It's just a regular part. Is there a way for me to dash
it's quantity? Thanks.

'Table>Repeat Region>Dash Item', and follow the prompt message. It doesn't have to be a bulk item.

Sorry David, but that does not work for me unless the part in questin
is a bulk item. I gave it another try today just to make sure, and it
seems to do nothing. Maybe there's a hidden option to change this?
I'm running WF3 M060.

Do you have your region attibute set to Recursive? Try Flat and see if that makes any difference.

Yep, I've got the repeat region set to flat, not recursive. Funny
thing is, I tried to dash a non-bulk item in a test assembly and it
seemed to work. However, in the assembly dwg that I actually want to
use this in it still doesn't work. This is what I get in the message
area:

Select a text which contains rpt.index or rpt.qty.
I then click the qty in question.
Showing note id 318 in drawing 106-1037.
Dash item has been set. Select again.

Note id 318 is just the the bom cell that I clicked on containing the
qty.

Try doing 'Table>Repeat Region>Swtich Syms' and make sure you see nothing but report symbols. I was going to suggest that you could have something with Fix Index set. But, I just tried it and it gives you a message warning that you can dash a record with the index set. I didn't try setting the who region, though. Just a thought, I'm guessing.
