To manage more quickly the assemblies, this tree allows to:

See the table at the end of this page. It mentions the different possible actions.

 

 

 

 

The New icon allows to display one or several BOMs

  • The default filtering is the one defined in the BOM template.

  • A dynamic filtering is possible entering text under the title of a column. TopSolid then displays only the rows containing the text entered in the selected column.

  • An advanced filtering is possible using the Filter icon .

  • Possibility to create groupings by dragging the title of a column into the grouping area (above the title row).

  • The Search text field will search the value in the entire BOM (unlike to the dynamic filter done under a specific column title).

  • A drop-down menu allows to force the display of the BOM. To put a multi-level BOM flat for example or display the BOM as thumbnails. The Tree shortcut displays the BOM according to the definition of its template document.

  • The Properties icon displays characteristics of selected  parts or sub-assemblies. Properties display are those defined in Tools > Options > Characteristics. It is possible to select one or more parts by multiple selection to change the properties of these elements. The modification is made in the definition of the documents.

 

 

 

Right click on the BOM tab allows to:

  • Close the BOM.

  • Close all BOMs.

  • Rename the BOM tab.

  • Open the BOM document.

 

 

  • The BOM document is created under the node of the assembly.

  • In order not to impact too strongly on the performance of TopSolid during the design process these BOMs are refreshed manually using the Refresh all icon .

 

 

 

 

Modifications / Additional information:

 

Under the tree banner, a tools bar allows to display more or less information Options are activated by clicking the icon (orange background) and are disabled by clicking a second time.

Command

Collapse all: Allows to collapse all opened sub-folders.

Show search: A field appears to fill the beginning of a word to find it in the tree. The tree is automatically unrolled and the first matched word is highlighted. The icon allows to empty the field.

Show folders counts: Display the information counts found in the tree. When several parts have the same name (repeated), only one is displayed as a folder. 8754 (4) means that there are 4 parts named 8754.

Track entities: Allows to highlight in the tree, the selected part (in the graphic area).This mode is disabled by default.

Allows to display the sets list to be able to use them with a filter.(For example, hide all parts of the selected set).

Allows to display the functions list to be able to use them with a filter. (For example, hide all parts with a screw function).

Allows to divide vertically or horizontally the filters section. when the icon is on (orange background) it is the vertical division.

Check the different parts to show. Unchecked parts are hidden. This command has to be used part by part.

Allows to change the attributes (color, transparency, layer) part by part.

Allows to change the layer by modifying the attributes (color, transparency, layer) part by part.

Allows to show all parts.

Allows to hide all parts.

Allows to invert the visibility. Hidden parts become visible and vice-versa.

Allows to sort parts in ascending order.

Allows to sort parts in descending order.

Allows to display parts as hierarchical view or not.

Allows to display or not the table columns ( , , ).

Allows to display BOMs when the current document is an assembly.

Allows to update the BOMs when the characteristics of the part/sub-assembly has been modified.
