HOW TO MANIPULATE ASSEMBLY LEVEL BOM'S
HOW TO MANIPULATE ASSEMBLY LEVEL BOM'S
(OP)
Is there a way to add an additional column of data in the parts list that would include the vendor of the part? I know that you can enter the vendor as an attribute, but how do I get it to show up in the BOM????
Thanks
Thanks

Now of course if this is going to be a permanent thing, you'll need to edit your Parts List templates as well.

RE: HOW TO MANIPULATE ASSEMBLY LEVEL BOM'S
THANKS, ONCE MORE YOU HAVE ANSWERED MY QUESTION. WHERE IS THE PART LIST TEMPLATE LOCATED AT?
ALSO, COULD YOU GIVE ME A QUICK RUN DOWN ON THE PART FILE ATTRIBUTES? I HAVE BEEN NAMING THE ATTRIBUTE, AND THEN INPUTING A VALUE FOR IT, IS THIS THE CORRECT WAY TO USE THE ATTRIBUTES? IS THERE A WAY TO ESTABLISH SOME STANDARD ATTRIBUTES THAT WILL BE IN EACH PART I CREATE?
THANKS,
JAKE

As for enforcing standards, what I do is have default part files where I've already created a set of standard attributes even if their value is just set to something like <fill-in> or TBD. If you add the template parts to a Resorce Bar tab (this is for NX 3 and NX 4) then all you have to do is just open the tab and select the part and it will launch a copy of your template as the new part and when you go and save it the system will ask for a new name. If you're running NX 5, Templates are now built into the File New dialog so you can go and edit them.
As far Part List temaplates, you can create your own similar to what I explained above by adding them to a Resource bar tab, but the existing templates can be found in the 'UGII/table_files' folder.
