Including Purchased Items Used In The Weldment Environment At The Top Assembly BOM List
Including Purchased Items Used In The Weldment Environment At The Top Assembly BOM List
(OP)
Using SolidWorks 2016 SP01;
Is it possible to "Attach" or "Include" purchased items used in the Weldment environment at the Top Assembly BOM list for purchased parts inclusion?
Example:
Purchased bolt & washer & are inserted as separate bodies in the Weldment environment as one component in one file. I would like to include these purchased components in the main BOM list.
Is there a way to achieve this without creating Macros or Multiple Part Files & an Assembly File?
Any response will be greatly appreciated!

You can add screws and washers as separate bodies. I added gussets to a sheet metal bracket that way. I converted the bracket to a weldment, then I added the gussets as separate bodies.

So, you want to explode the BOM at the assembly level and catch all the catalogue parts in the weldments. That means everybody must look at the same data format. The weldment must be modelled as an assembly.
