How to create a Multiple part list with 2 assembly configurations???

How to create a Multiple part list with 2 assembly configurations???

How to create a Multiple part list with 2 assembly configurations???

(OP)
Hi everybody!
I have a problem with "Multiple Part list", because I have in my document an assembly with 2 configuration ( basically the diference between them is the change of a piece)...

I need to make a drafting with the 2 arrangements in separate sheets , but when I insert a "multiple part list" it appear the same in both assemblies.

They can help me???

RE: How to create a Multiple part list with 2 assembly configurations???

Under normal conditions, a Parts List can only recognize the original Assembly that the Drawing was created for. Any additional parts or Assemblies added to the Drawing file will only be considered as 'referenced' parts and therefore will not be seen as additional items that needs to be added to the current Parts List or the subject of a second Parts Liat.

Thank you very much for your answer John R. Baker

However, I do not know how to do 2 part list in the same file.

That's because NX was NOT designed to do that.

I think you can have multiple parts list if you change an evironment variable so that your balloon numbers aren't automatic. If you need balloons then the easiest way would to create a second drafting file.

Maybe an enhancement request to GTAC? This would something that would be great for us.

Muchas Gracias por sus respuestas
Pero realmente necesito que los ensambles estén en un mismo archivo (es un ensamble tipo "familia")

Sin embargo lo subiré a GTAC

¡Gracias! smile

I was very interested in your comment about the environment variable

Have the values ​​of the variable? I would like to try

RE: How to create a Multiple part list with 2 assembly configurations???

in the ug dat file set UGII_UPDATE_ALL_ID_SYMBOLS_WITH_PLIST=0 . I believe having the balloons update allow you to have only one tool list, but I haven't tried it.

RE: How to create a Multiple part list with 2 assembly configurations???

How about using Nested Assemblies? Add a column to your parts list, making sure it's a Quantity column.THen select that column>right click>style>select Columns tab>click Nested Assemblies>Select PArent component> pick one assembly from the ANT>apply.
You need a quantity column for each assembly. We use this in NX7.5 for family drawings.
