Manually add an item to parts list? 1

[ProDarwin]

This has probably been asked before, but my searches are coming up short. Is there a way to manually add an item to the Solid Edge parts list without:

A) creating the item in the assembly, or
B) converting the parts list to text and adding another row?

The parts lists I use include consumables such as epoxy or silicone spray... something I'm not about to add to my model, but I do need them to appear in my parts list. Any help would be much appreciated.

Non graphic parts may be the way to approach this.

Essentially a part with no geometry but with the file properties filled out to appropriatly populate the parts list/BOM reports.

The file properties can even be modified to allow AR or X IN or manually entered quantities etc.

KENAT,

Have you reminded yourself of faq731-376 recently, or taken a look at posting policies:

As Kenat says,
Non-graphic parts are the correct and ONLY way to do this.
It's easy and quick and the description etc gets called up the same way every time.
