Clear Manufacturing Index

This command allows to delete all the manufacturing indexes on the parts from a bill of material document.

Creation stages / Use:

Select the Bill of Material > Clear Manufacturing Index... command from the drop-down menu.

As the command is selected, all the indexes are automatically deleted.

Warning : using this command deletes all the manufacturing indexes occurrence properties applied on the parts and sub-assemblies from the source document.

So it is important to use this command with caution if this occurrence property is also used in the assembly for the design ( Part marking for example)

Actually, if the part is marked with its manufacturing index and this command is used, the mounting index information is lost for the marking. And there is no guaranty that the new index that will be created afterward will have the same value.
