non-default part confiuration in assembly
non-default part confiuration in assembly
(OP)
how do you show/insert a configuration of a part other than its default state? I have a model of a motor and gearbox as one part. I made an alternate configuration to show the gearbox mounted in the opposite direction. When i insert the part into the machine assembly, i don't see where i can select which configuration i want to use.

I have made an assy drawing and inserted a BOM.
Can anyone suggest why the configuration name is appearing in the part number column? (i.e. "default" is not a very useful part number)
Cheers, Nick

The configurations were indeed generated by a design table. Is there a way to get the BOM to reference the Document Name?

Perhaps one of the API gurus know of a macro which would do this for you.

RE: non-default part confiuration in assembly
Yes ... the property is $PARTNUMBER with the variable being $D for Document Name and $C for Configuration Name.
Has that always been available? (please say no ... I'd be embarrassed to admit to how many I've changed manually)
RE: non-default part confiuration in assembly
needless to say that $D is very useful... Cheers.
