Parts list questions

Parts list questions

Parts list questions

(OP)
Hi,
When there are parts in a parts list which I don't want to see, I just delete them in the list. But is there a nicer way to do this. I mean, sometimes I have loads of parts in the list of which some of them I don't want to see. I would like to exclude them from the parts list whem building the assembly in the modeling application.

Another question. When I delete the parts list I can not place it again in the same style as it was in the drawing template. Where are the settings of the parts list stored?

RE: Parts list questions

To have a part in the assembly but not in the parts list add the attribute

PLIST_IGNORE_MEMBER value= YES

Thanks for your help.
I found out that you can do it at dwg level or part level. If done in part level you will not see it in any assembly BOM anymore, I guess.
But I also found the command "PLIST_IGNORE_SUBASSEMBLY". I understand that a whole subassy can be suppressed in the BOM. But this does not work with me. It has the same result as "PLIST_IGNORE_MEMBER".

PLIST_IGNORE_SUBASSEMBLY only works when you are in the displayed part (assy) which you want to supress I just discovered.
