Multiple Part Configurations in the BOM

Frans Labuschagne Feb 5, 2018 3:50 AM

Hi everyone,

I am struggling with the BOM on a drawing of mine. I have several parts with multiple configurations each. Some of these parts just have a different orientation and some are actually different. The parts that only change in orientation can effectively be the same entry in the BOM.

Is there a way to force some entries to become one item while keeping others separate without splitting the configurations?

Thanks in advance!

Needs more information, screenshort or model. Why do you use part configuration for different orientation instead of orienting original config. in assembly?

  Hi Igor,
  
  I used the different orientations on part level to simplify mating in the assembly.

Yes, this topic has been discussed several times.
take a look at the following link:
