family table assembly and BOM's
family table assembly and BOM's
(OP)
Hi,
I have an assembly with multiple configuirations. There are 3 components in it, and the first 2 components are common to both configurations, but the -1 configuation has a different third component than the -2 configuration. I've set up a generic model with a -1 configuration and a -2 configuration on top of one another and then used the family table option to include only one configuration or the other.
I'm now trying to set up my BOM and I want the P/N, Item, etc and then a qty column for each configuration. Is there a way to have my BOM build itself based on the assemblies specified by the family table? Is there a better way to do what I'm trying to do? I can always just manually input the columns and qty's but I'd like to automate it.
Thanks

-1 -2 Find No P/N
qty qty
1 1 1 xxxxxxx
1 - 2 xxxxxxx
- 1 3 xxxxxxx
What I am getting is entries only for the driving model, in this case the generic model (2 entries). My generic assembly is based on my -1 configuration and then the family table replaces item 2 with item 3 for the -2 configuration. The table needs to generate entries for both family table members and come up with a total of 3 entries.
Any thoughts on how I can do this?
