NX4 Parts List
NX4 Parts List
(OP)
In Unigraphics V18 with the old method, it was possible to create a parts list with option No component.
Where is this option in NX4 ?
Thanks in advance

RE: NX4 Parts List
If so, and you would like this particular part file to NEVER appear in any Parts List no matter which assembly it's part of, then open that part file and added the following Part Attribute to the file:
PLIST_IGNORE_MEMBER
Note that the 'value' of the attribute is irrelevant just as long as it is present, that part will never be included in any Parts List.
Now if you ONLY what this for one example where this part is being used, but not necessarily effect other situations, then simply add this same attribute to the Component itself in the Drawing Assembly of interest by selecting the Component using the Assembly Navigator, pressing MB3 and selecting the 'Properties' item.
BTW, if this is something which may happen often and you have a customized Part Template, do what I do. I add this Part Attribute to my template file except I 'misspell' the name, something like 'PLIST_IGNORE_MEMBER_X' and then since the value is irrelevant I set it to "Edit Name, remove _X" as a reminder that if I want to 'activate' this this option all I have to do is edit the Attribute name either in my part file or after it has been added as a component to a Drawing Assembly.

RE: NX4 Parts List
Thanks for your answer
In fact my customer need to start with an empty parts list because he doesn't want all the components and it's more easy by this way. He want to edit level and add some components after.
Could you confirm that this option (no compnent) was in V18 ? and where is it now ?
Thanks in advance
