Expand/collapse subassembly
Expand/collapse subassembly
(OP)
SW2006 SP 5.0
In SW based BOM in Bill of Materials Properties there is a column marked (tool tip): Expand/collapse subassy.
I would like to use this on one sub-assy but do not know how. Could anybody explain that, please.






RE: Expand/collapse subassembly
Anyone know if it works in other versions? SW2007 maybe?

Click on BOM - "manager" displays on the left, than click on the box BOM Contents
RE: Expand/collapse subassembly
It does say - Expand/collapse sub-assembly . Click the icon to expand or collapse the sub-assembly in the BOM.
I don't think this means what we think its suppose to mean... however I am not sure myself.
I would think it is describing the assembly in the expand collapse position if you have an exploded view made. My assembly does have one, but that option does not affect it. SO the question is, is it suppose to affect the assy or the BOM? I would guess the BOM, but how would one expand or collapse the BOM?
Maybe you should contact your VAR and have them ask SW about this option.

I think it is either for a future enhancement or from an old one that didn't work but hasn't been cleaned up yet.
