Parts lists using same assembly on different sheets

Parts lists using same assembly on different sheets

Parts lists using same assembly on different sheets

(OP)
I'm having a problem when I have several sheets that use parts lists based on the same assembly. On the main assembly sheet I want the parts list collapsed so I only see subassemblies. However, on other drawing sheets, I want the list expanded so I can see the parts. When I expand the parts list on one of the other sheets, it automatically expands the parts list on my main assembly drawing. A side problem is also created because then my auto bubble feature calls out individual parts instead of the subassembles like I want on the main drawing. Now I work around this by expanding the parts list and making the rows I don't want to see invisible. This doesn't fix my auto bubble problem, because with list expanded, it will only call out individual parts as opposed to subassemblies.

RE: Parts lists using same assembly on different sheets

For the assembly drawing, leave it like you have it. For the part drawings, you might try re-inserting the parts list and selecting 'Parts Only' on the pull down. Not sure if it is the fix you need, but it's worth a shot.

 

RE: Parts lists using same assembly on different sheets

Is there a reason you don't use the bom from subassemblies in the other sheets?  Show the parts list for each sub next the the drawing views of that sub.
