BOM

BOM

(OP)
Is there a way on ProE 2001 in that I have a 12 components in an assembly which is being driven by a layout table. By altering these values changes the component/assembly. The trouble is on the parts list that I want some items shown as number 1, number 2 etc in the list. But it seems irratic that these componets can be nu,ber twelve (at the bottom). Is there a way to lock theses items to certain positions in the BOM?

RE: BOM

Hello,

You will need to use TABLES, BOM TABLE and FIX INDEX, select the table, select indivuidual parts and enter the part number you require.

Hope this helps.

RE: BOM

Hello,

Sorry, I meant TABLES, REPEAT REGION and FIX INDEX.

Hope this helps.

But if I change a dimension or add a part on the assembly, the parts move around on the BOM even with the fix.

RE: BOM

Hi to all,

I also faced a problem with BOM creation. I am using the commercial 2001 version. My assembly is 3 level and the FIX INDEX command does not seems to work on sub regions. I wondered if there is a way to work around it. Perhaps, you can enlighten me on how to perform part numbering for a 3 level sub assembly. Another problem I faced is Pro/E placed the parts in an assembly according to alaphatical order. Lastly, I like to enquire how to ensure no duplicates across different assembly levels. This is because I used the same part file in 2 different levels of assembly and I ended up with 2 same part names.

Many Thanks!
