BOM using PMI
BOM using PMI
(OP)
Hello everyone,
This is my first post in this forum. I am using NX 7.5. Can someone familiar with PMI tell me if it's possible to show the BOM using PMI in the 3D model? If yes, how would you proceed to do it? If not, is there any alternatives to have the BOM on the 3D model so that we can avoid to put it in a 2D drawing? We are testing out the PMI tool in NX, so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks a lot!
Wilson.

Insert -> Table -> Parts List...
Once created, this 'Model-based' parts list will have all of the same options and behaviors as would a Parts List placed on a Drawing only it's now a 'note' object placed in 3D space (located on the XY plane of the WCS).

Now go to...
Customer Defaults -> Drafting -> Annotation -> Parts Lists
...and at the bottom of the page enter the full path and file name in the appropriate field depending on whether the template is in a native folder or is being managed in Teamcenter (even if you're using Teamcenter, this file doesn't need to be managed and if it's not then just use the first field and point to the native location).

Additionally you can use save as template methodology.(i am attaching an example image herewith)

How could i go into my columns and tell them to go get the appropriate attributes of all my parts?

Do you mean "how to set attributes for a number of components in a single shot from assembly navigator"?

You know how we can assign attributes to a component/part by going into file>properties when the component/part is opened?
I want each column of my BOM to go retrieve the respective attribute from the attributes that I have assigned for the part. For example, I have an attribute called "NAME". How can i do so that my column "NAME" in my BOM retrieves the value of the attribute "NAME" from my part?

Although i think i answered your query in my latest reply but still...When you add a new column to your part list and select the column and choose style then in the COLUMNS tab and attribute name you can select your user defined attribute .once you select it then the column will be filled with the values of this user defined part attribute automatically (for all those components which conatin a vlaue for it).
Hope this helps.

looks like we are interacting in real time :) often a mismatch of queries and answers.
Well you need to define a part attribute in various components and then it will automatically appear in the list.In nX8 and NX8.5 you can simply apply the attribute at the component level (component properties/attributes/Object selection (APPLY TO COMPONENT AS PART ATTRIBUTE)) and make it a part attribute.
Just check if this is avalibale in NX7.5 (i am 50-50 on that).
