hi,
How can i add part in my BOM if i hew 5 sub assembly and i want in my main assembly to display 4 sub assembly and only parts from 5th sub assembly(not that sub assembly on itself only his parts).
hope i could explain what i am asking for.
nice day
Open that sub assembly and in the configuration properties for the config that is used in the main assembly pick ""Promote" in the Bill of materials options section.
Antonio,
The only way I know of to do this is to use an "Indented BOM".
Once the BOM has been placed on a drawing, you can access the indentures and basically collapse the subassemblies you do not want to see, leaving one expanded. You can do this using "flat" or "detailed" numbering.
See SW Help Files: Expanding or Collapsing Indented Assemblies in a BOM
Eddie
Ed indented BOM will flatten out every single assembly. So in this case as OP wants only a particular assembly, promote is the way to go.
Deepak,
I created an indented BOM and collapsed all subassemblies except one and the BOM displayed as expected.
Not sure what you are seeing.
Eddie
I'm seeing the same results as you've mentioned but you can see an extra row for the assembly also along with it's own child using the indented BOM.
Yes I see that now in the original request.
....and yes you are right, the exposed subassembly has a line for itself. ...and I would think this is expected/required behavior.
Makes no sense to me as to why or when you'd want to show the parts without knowing what subassembly they belong to.
I guess only Antonio would know the answer to that.
I use this method all the time. For all my fasteners where they have a corresponding nuts and washers, I make a sub-assembly with promote option. And then use them in next level assemblies.
Deepak, If I am understanding you, you place your fasteners as smart components and then by promoting them the BOM shows them as individuals? that is helpful. Thank you .
ty u all,
to promote is what i needed, but in this case i dissolved that sub assembly in main assembly and got what i needed to display in my BOM
