BOM Bubbles not consitent within one drawing
BOM Bubbles not consitent within one drawing
(OP)
This is an outline form of our tube bundle parts:
Tube Bundle:
- Tube 1:
Fins
- Tube 2:
Fins
- Tube 3:
Fins
- Header (upper):
Pipe
Cap
Weld Flange
Couplings
- Header (Lower):
Same as upper
Each "-" represents a sub assembly and then they are all brought into the tube bundle assembly.
I need to create a drawing of the tube bundle (easy enough), but I also need to detail the headers and tube assemblies.
My problem is the BOM is based off the tube bundle assembly, but when I RMB click > drawing views > model and insert either the upper or lower header and bubble them, the bubbles start back over at 1. How can I tie these bubbles back into the BOM that resides on this very sheet?
For example, on the tube bundle plan view, the cap is item 9, but the same cap in the header detail is 3.
I know, I know, I should have them on separate drawings, but we've had a format for fab drawings for years and I have to maintain that.
Thanks for your help!

I am new to SW, can you explain Display states? How would I apply it to my situation? Thanks!

I put two different assy’s onto one drawing sheet. Then put SolidWorks BOM table for one assy onto the drawing. Then I put SolidWorks BOM table table for then next assy onto that same drawing. The item numbers match their own BOM’s.

On your drawing, click the drawing view and look at the properties for the view. Make sure the display state you are interested in is selected. You should now see your assembly in the desired display state in your drawing view. In 2006 and 2007, display states are configuration dependent meaning that display states are created and saved separately in configurations. This changes for 2008. Display states are above the configurations and are global to the assembly file.
