Hi I need solution regarding assembly drawing.
I have created BOM in a assembly drawing. I dont know in what order NX creates positions(callouts) of the components. Now i need to change the position of some components to match costumer given drawing. Whats the procedure to do that??? thanks in advance

RE: changing positions(callouts) of parts in BOM

This thread might help a bit:

http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=400985

But basically the order of a Parts list is controlled first by Assembly Preferences in terms of how you set the option 'Descriptive Part Name Style'. The default is 'Part File' name, but it can also be set to the file Description value or any User Defined Attribute assigned to the Components.

But in addition to that there are (as was mentioned in the link above) the ability to either 'Cut & Paste' Parts List entries as well as to control the sorting of each column.
