BOM Promote not holding

Bryan Obermeyer Mar 22, 2018 4:41 PM

I have a drawing with a top level Assembly and several sub-assemblies.

1st problem is that the drawing won't allow me to promote a sub unless the assembly is opened to that configuration related to the drawing I'm working on.

The 2nd problem is that the promote does not stay. After successfully promoting the sub, saving the drawing, close and then re-open, the drawing reverts back to the old BOM (no promoted sub).

Has anyone else seen this behavior and does anyone have a fix?

Try to show us your problem in some snapshots

Don't know if I have ever had a problem such as you are describing and like Ruben says, it would be nice to have some snapshots. Are you attempting to promote from within the bom itself or in the assembly configuration? I personally like to do it within the "expanded" bom (Top-level only).. Or.. if you are using "indented" you should be able to "dissolve" the sub in a similar fashion.

  I am inserting a BOM into a drawing(4 items). Items 1&2 are subs. When I attempt to promote them, SW does not let me do it. I then open the assembly (from the drawing), Ctrl<TAB> back to the drawing and then I am able to promote the BOM (14 items). If I save and close (Both Drawing and assembly) and then open the drawing again, the BOM is reverted back to the original 4 items.

      Funny what happens when you ask quesrtions......
      
      So a co worker points out to me that i need to promote the SUB ASSEMBLY in the SUB ASSEMBLY feature manager.
      I was trying to promote the BOM at the drawing level.
