Sub-assy Components showing up in BOM
Sub-assy Components showing up in BOM
(OP)
SWX 2005 sp5.0
I have a question regarding how to make some parts show up in an Excel based BOM.
Level A = I have a main assembly.
Level B = In that main assembly there are three identical sub-assemblies.
Level C = Within those three sub-assemblies, there are other sub-assemblies (weldments). (customer insists on drawing weldments as sub-assy's, don't ask)
I need the BOM to be able to list all of the components through Level B but I do not want any of the sub-components from the sub-assemblies/weldments in Level C to show up.
Assuming my description makes ANY sense, is this possible?
Thanks

Select the Show assemblies and parts in an indented list option & use the Contents section to deselect the parts you do not want in the BOM, when inserting the Excel BOM.

Open the weldment sub and go to the configurations tab.
Right-click the config used in the upper level ass'y (i.e., Default) and go to Properties.
Check the box that says "Don't show child components in BOM when used as a sub-assembly"
This property will follow the weldment anywhere it is used.
One warning - I am not sure if this works for the Excel based BOM or if it is only for the SWx table BOM.
RE: Sub-assy Components showing up in BOM
The first column in the customers Excel BOM is the ItemNo. the only things that are numbered are the items in the Level A assembly. Is there a way to force it to number everything in the BOM and also skip the ones I hide?

RE: Sub-assy Components showing up in BOM
If I do not want a part to show up in the excel BOM I suppress the part in the assembly. You can also do this in configurations. I tell my associates to never hide a part in the assembly to keep it off the drawing. Because if someone a year from now un-hides all, it will show up in the drawing. They must hide the part in the tree of the drawing itself.

Any clue how to keep them intact?
