This command creates the BOM of an assembly document.

 

Creation stages / Use:

 

Select the BOM > Assembly... command from the drop-down menu.

 

  1. Select the source assembly document.

  2. Choose if you want to use the representation or a set defined into the assembly document. It is not possible to use both at the same time for the same bom.

  3. Validate the command.

 

 

 

The use of the option "set" is memorized same as the sets names.

As a result, you can change the reference assembly document afterwards and if the new one contains as well the same sets, the bill of material will be properly updated.

 

This allows to create predefined bill of material template document for specific assembly set (as casing, motor...)

 

 

Available Options:

 

 

 

This option lists all representations of the assembly and allows to select the one to use to display the bom.

 

 

If sets have been defined in the assembly, one of them can be used to display the bom.

 

 

This checked option will group on the same BOM line different parts having all identical properties bom.

 

 

This option is conditioned by the activation of the 'Group by property column' option. It ungroups based on geometries. That means two lines with the same BOM properties but different geometries will be ungrouped. Without this second option, they would form a single line.

 

 

This option allows to take into account or not the modifications made only in the assembly.

 

 

This option allows to filter your bill of material to be able to exclude/keep an elements selection. You just have to check the filter to use to activate it.

There are 2 types of filters in this dialog:

  • Source Document: this area lists filters created in the source document (Entities Filter and Filter by Properties).

  • Filter Documents: this area lists the existing filter documents in the source project or in the project referenced by the source document. If the Activate cell is selected, only elements matching with this filter will be kept in the bill of material ( and consequently, all other elements will be excluded).

 

Strict: When the Strict mode is enabled, constituents are not taken into account.

 

Strict Mode

 

Flat Bom with filter that keeps the "laminates" entities.

 

 
The Panel is a constituent of the Laminates, but it does not appear in the Bom.

Strict case unchecked

 

Flat Bom with filter that keeps the "laminates" entities.

 

 

Modifications:

 

The modification of a BOM template used in an existing BOM will not update the existing BOM.

To modify the properties displayed in an existing BOM, use the Columns command.
