Visualize/Callout Only An Assembly Part Number In A BOM
Visualize/Callout Only An Assembly Part Number In A BOM
(OP)
Using CATIA V5R18;
I created an assembly “A” of parts, now I want to call out only the assembly part number “A” and not each individual part making up assembly “A” in the BOM, how can this be done?
Any response will be greatly appreciated!

Right click => properties => Product Tab => Uncheck "Visualize in Bill of Materials" box for all components of the subassembly except for one. In the one component that I leave visible I set all of the parameters that I want to be displayed in the BOM. So this one component is the only piece of the subassembly that will appear in the BOM but it will look like it is representing the entire subassembly. Not an ideal solution but it does work.

There are a couple of ways to accomplish this but here is 1 method.
Assembly A.CATProduct
Bom A.CATpart - add the part number you want to show in the recapitulation table
Component A - in the property tab turn off visualize in BOM
Part 1.CATpart
Part 2.CATpart
Part 3.CATpart
Part 4.CATpart
The above method will allow you to have individual parts of Assembly A

Just to make sure I understand your method: You are simply adding a dummy part to the .CATproduct that contains no geometry and is only there to contribute the correct BOM information. You turn off visualization for all of the actual parts. Correct? I like this idea better than what I have been doing. It still seems like an odd workaround.

I only do this because our programmers that created the interface between Catia BOM export --> internal material management program --> SAP are for the lack of a better word lazy. I would be perfectly happy not managing a NVA part.
