How can I split a bomtemp

How can I split a bomtemp

How can I split a bomtemp

(OP)
I wan't to split a bomtemp with 50 parts into two bomtemps of 25 parts. The two bomtemps must be placed on two different sheets in one drawing.

RE: How can I split a bomtemp

Create two BOMs, one on each sheet, then hide the 25 items you don't want to see, in each of them.

I can give you more detailed indications, if you need.

RE: How can I split a bomtemp

IMHO, this is not a good practice.  Even on multi-page assembly drawings, the BOM should be on a single page.

Gravity is a harsh mistress.

RE: How can I split a bomtemp

Tick,
I found this old thread and wanted to ask why this wasn't a good practice? Is there a better way to do this per "korretje's request?

Our Manufacturing group wants to use "B" size drawings (11 X 17). And an assembly with more than 30 parts gets hard to read. So we have our multi-sheet B-size drawings with the parts list of 25 items on each sheet.

RE: How can I split a bomtemp

Why don't you do this:

1) RMB the cell select Split.
2) Select the second BOM
3) Edit\Cut
4) click to other sheet
5) Edit\Paste

Just tested this in SW06 and it works fine.

RE: How can I split a bomtemp

I think your hosed there then.

You can try and place the assembly on the second sheet put another BOM in there and do as suggested above Hide X amount on one sheet and X amount on second sheet.

You should have your company consider the SW BOM, it makes BOM use much simplier.

RE: How can I split a bomtemp

Yeah, I have to start playing around with the SW BOM again. The last time I worked with it, I wasn't to happy about how it saved it (.sldbomtbt). It didn't seem to save the exact changes I made when I modified the Heights and Widths of the columns and rows. Pretty much gave up with it.

Thanks for your help,

Macduff
