Catia BoM in drawing problem
Catia BoM in drawing problem
(OP)
Help!!!
I have a large product containing lots of sub assys and parts. I want to generate a BoM in my drawing only showing the childrean of tha main assy - not all the parts of the sub assys. I cant belive such a powerful tool like Catia will not do this!!
Any Ideas?
Thanks - Kevin

RE: Catia BoM in drawing problem
I have seen an executable that will toggle the visualization in Bom flag. You could then toggle only the required children. I wont have access to my computer until 8pm, if I find it I could email it.

RE: Catia BoM in drawing problem
except for the first level of the BOM that you want to generate you can supress the display of the BOM by doing the following..
1.multi select the sub assy & the parts->MB3->properties and uncheck visualise in BOM.
2. update the drawing after making these changes in the product level.
Note:- if you are working with a PDM system even when u save this product with these changes i am afraid the next time when you open the draw and the assy you wouldn't get what you expect.. i think it works well locally..
hiooe this helps...
