i had a similar issue and was told it is a known issue with no fix to date:
i had an assembly cut feature that patterned. then i inserted a toolbox part and when i tried to mate it to any one of those assembly cuts, it dissappeared. it remained in the tree but was not visible on screen.
at any...
ok. i have received approval to make the parts list the the way SW can do it, ie: no blank columns. if configs are present and toggled on, then that column will be added and the user will have go in and delete the QTY from that title. this means that drawings will have varying size parts lists...
i suppose i should be more clear on that last point. you can merge the cell. but i needed to make a template. and once you "save as template", the merge goes away and it return the original cells and keep the data from the uppermost furthest left cell of whichever cells you merged. so just added...
no, that row is in the sheet format.
SW wont allow you to make a merged cell in a template. it allows it but then when you insert the template, it doesnt recognize the merge and you get a messed up parts list.
this is an example of an assembly that has only one config. but it shows the format they want. the blank columns would hold the next config, -502, -503, etc.
i doesnt need ****/QTY because the box underneath says "QTY REQD PER DASH NO."
so, if my assembly had a -501 and a -502, how do i have a...
UNFORTUNATELY, MILITARY WONT DO IT THAT WAY. THEY WANT THE DRAWING TO SHOW THE NUMBER....oops, sorry. they want the drawing to be the number, 12345, then the parts list shows that the "part" is a 12345-501, and if it has mult. configs, then add 12345-502 to FOD. then parts list will show those 2...
Tate,
Yes they want to see 1 assembly part number. Lets say paret number 12345. but 12345 is a common assembly used in several applications where lets say some hardware (permanent non-removable) is different to install that assemby. so when assembling this unit, if the project calls for a dash...
well, this is a tabulated drawing for an assembly. not a single part. in my case i am showing an assembly with several configurations. i cant really do separate drawings because the customer requires as few part numbers as possible. so, they go to dash numbers. now my drawing needs a BOM on the...
second part:
is there a way to have a specific size BOM where those configuration columns are blank if i am not using sevral config, but they will be populated if i am.
basically i want a standard template with say 10 columns linked to custom property data or configuration properties in my...
i have searched exhaustively for this topic. I actually want the reverse of every entry I have found.
I want the column header to only show the configuration name ie: -505|-504|-503|-502|-501| Item #| , instead of automatically placing |-505/QTY|-504/QTY| and so on...
i know i can select the...
