Picture a cube with rectangle flanges on top and bottom. I have drawn this cube and the insulation that covers it. I have 4 differnt sizes of insualtion (drawn as spearate parts) and two of each of them to cover this cube for a total of 8 peices of insualtion. The Length and width of each...
I was able to RMC on the drawing and click >Drawing Views > Model and bring in a new view, scaled correctly with the right display state and the bubbles follow the BOM. I will try your way as well. Thanks!
woohoo, this is a breakthru for me!

I have an assembly and I have made three different displays states. The first display state shows the assembly in it's entirety. The next two, show two different sub assemblies with everything else hidden.
I have a drawing detailing the entire assembly with the standard three views...
Bradley - Thanks, but no, I need one BOM for the drawing. Afterall they are the same part. I have the Display states done, but am having trouble creating the views I need because they are already on the drawing. I will start a new thread. Thanks!

This is an outline form of our tube bundle parts:
Tube Bundle:
- Tube 1:
Fins
- Tube 2:
Fins
- Tube 3:
Fins
- Header (upper):
Pipe
Cap
Weld Flange
Couplings
- Header (Lower):
Same as upper
Each "-" represents a sub assembly and then they are...
I found a way to do this. Not alone mind you, I had some expert help.
Select the Column with the item numbers. Then select Column properties in the Property Manager. IN the Column Properties select equation and enter the following.
="X"'ITEM NO.'
Where X = the value you want to put in there...
Bradley - The other drafter is a contract drafter, so he is not in house, or even in-state for that matter. So I am the only drafter employeed directly within the company and am having to start from scratch, including learning SW!

hmm, well I probably have 20 parts in each sub assembly and I certainly don't want them to overlap. I think the current drafter (who is much more versed than I am) uses a Part No. for his BOM # as he does have gaps from time to time. I was just trying to avoid that. It wouldn't bother me if...
I have a question or two, but I will reserve one for each new thread.
Is there any way to put a prefix on the BOM entry of each part, but still have them number incrementally? ie. If I wanted all my parts on my -30 drawing to have a prefix of "30-x", Where 30 would = the drawing number and x =...
No sweat, I will start new threads. I am a member of many forums and it seems each one likes to do it differently. Thanks for the links.
Oh and J.D. < J.C., but I try hard! ;-)

I feel for you. I am nearly in the same boat. I did take the level 1 class and it was very helpful to get me started, however, my downfall was not being able to impliment what I learned for some months later. I hope you find what you're looking for, but my advice is to take that class.
