BOM, Moving parts within
BOM, Moving parts within
(OP)
I am working on an assembly, this assy has 43 components in it. When I drop this on a sheet and insert a SW BOM, one of the components that is listed in the feature mgr tree as item 29 is displayed in the SW BOM as item 6. I am using SW 2008 sp4.0.
Previous versions of SW allowed you to rearrange the BOM items from within the BOM. For some reason I cannot figure how to "shuffle" the BOM to match the way the components are listed in the feature mgr tree.
The reason I would like to do this is item 29 is a screw and I would like to keep the "major" components at the begginning of the BOM and the sundrie items at the end.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Which version of SW are you using? I don't have that dropdown box and I'm using 2008 SP4.0

Does the Balloon Settings not pop-up when you pick a balloon or is the item-number field grayed out?

That will put them in line.

If you look at Reily's screeny, you will see why I prefer to re-number them in numerical order rather than "Follow assembly order". Instead of hunting for item # 42 for example, it would be faster to find a particular item if the balloons were in order either clockwise or from top of sheet to bottom.
But everybody has there preferences and what makes sense to some doesn't make sense to others.
