Excluding a part from parts lists

Excluding a part from parts lists

Excluding a part from parts lists

(OP)
How do I exclude parts in an assembly from showing up in a drawing BOM? I sometimes include parts for reference and don't want them to show up in a BOM

RE: Excluding a part from parts lists

Add an attribute titled PLIST_IGNORE_MEMBER. It doesn't need to have any value, it simply needs to be there.

Now if you want this to apply only to a specific Assembly and NOT every time this item is added to an Assembly, then you need to assign this as an Object Attribute to the Component in the desired Assembly. However, if this particular Part is NEVER to be seen in a Parts List, then assign this as a Part Attribute to the detailed Part file itself.

RE: Excluding a part from parts lists

Are you working in native NX (version?) or with a PDM/PLM system such as Teamcenter (TC)?

If you are working with native, you can give the component an attribute PLIST_IGNORE_MEMBER and supply a value such as "yes" or "1" (I think any value will do). If the part/assembly was created in NX 8 or later, the attribute will be in the "unset" group, just give it a value. If the part/assembly was created prior to NX 8, create the attribute and give it a value.

If you are using TC or other PLM, it may have to be done in the PLM system.

Hello Chopper.

Select the part from you assembly navigator. Rightclick - select properties. Tab Assembly - section component. In there set the option "This component is reference only".

That should do the trick.
