Sub-Assemblies/BOM: Can you have the BOM show components of some, but just assy for others?
Sub-Assemblies/BOM: Can you have the BOM show components of some, but just assy for others?
(OP)
When doing a BOM for an assembly, is it possible to make it so that some of the subassemblies have all of their components show up, but other subassemblies show up as just one line?

1.) Select the assembly BOM.
2.) On the left side of the BOM you will see three arrows pointing left, click on them.
3.) A fly out tool bar for the BOM will appear. There will be a minus sign in a box next to each assembly. Click on that for the assemblies you don't want components to show up for.
This method is specific to the BOM, not to the assembly or subassemblies. I think it was introduced in 2009 or 2010.

Does that change the state of the "Show child parts in BOM" option of the assembly? I believe OP was trying to avoid that. I'm running 2012 so I can't check the 2011 behavior.

I finally switched to 2012, and am having some difficulty with this issue as well now....sort of.
I have the BOM reflecting the HIDE/SHOW issue correctly, but my problem is within the balloons.
My "SHOW" sub-assembly is "dissolved" in the BOM correctly, and each item is ballooned with their appropriate "detail" property. (Example: A SUB of "make" parts)
My "HIDE" sub-assembly shows up as a sub in the BOM correctly, but each item is ballooned with the "detail" property, and not the SUB property. (Example: A SUB of a cylinder (body & rod))
I don't recall having this issue in previous releases...
