Reorder Parts in an Assembly (New to NX)
Reorder Parts in an Assembly (New to NX)
(OP)
How do you manually reorder the items in an assembly? And how do you reorder it in the BOM on a drawing, if it's not as you would like. I am using NX6. I am a long time I-deas user so it's a bit a change.

As for the Parts List, unless you manually resort or cut & paste entries, once a Parts List note is created it will remain fixed (now this can be overridden by setting the 'Sort on Update' option in the 'Style' dialog for the overall note itself, but by default this option is OFF). If you wish to resort the Parts List note manually, again you can sort on any column you wish by selecting the overall note and with MB3 select the Sort... item.

That is to say that the drawing has one number say A123 and each of the details are numbered A123-1, A123-2 etc. So if you have 5 items and delete number 3 then the remaining item numbers using the automatic callout would be numbered 1,2,3,4 when you really need to have 1,2,4,5 for historical reasons. In this case we edit the callout numbers in the parts list table to get it to work.
This may not be you but in combination with John's earlier post you can probably handle even the most complex of cases.
