BOM not updating
BOM not updating
(OP)
I have a parts list with a row showing Item, Qty, and 2 other rows looking up the attributes "part number" and "description". When I created my parts list in drafting, I noticed a few items were not listed in the BOM. Sure enough, I didn't enter information in the file properties for "part number" and "description". After adding the information, the items do not appear in my parts list when I do an update? The only way I can get a new row with these parts is to add another instance of the part in my assembly. But then I have to hide it in the view because I have one too many shown.





RE: BOM not updating
Either selct your parts list on the drawing or
in your part navagator (expand "drawing" menu) and
rmc on it and click update parts list
RE: BOM not updating
how are the levels for the parts list set?
Our vimeo site has a video about parts lists, that explains the key field and levels: http://vimeo.com/106565338

RE: BOM not updating
phoeNX, Thanks for the video. Sadly my company's filters won't allow me to view it at the office. I'll forward it home and have a look. I think I'll need to watch the video to even be able to answer your questions: "which column is the key field?
" and "how are the levels for the parts list set?"
