BOM Properties dialog box

Displays the source file and provides BOM settings used to create item numbers for balloons and parts lists.

Access:

Ribbon: Annotate tab Table panel Balloon

Note: The BOM Properties dialog box is displayed only if the BOM is not yet created (that means no balloons or parts lists were created in the drawing).

File	Displays the source file for creating a BOM in the drawing.
BOM Settings	Selects the appropriate BOM view. The Parts Only view may be disabled in the source assembly. If you select the Parts Only view in the parts list, it is enabled in the source assembly. Note: BOM views are provided only for assembly sources.

BOM View

The choice of BOM View determines available settings and properties.

Structured Note: The Structured Properties are only available if the BOM view was not defined in the assembly Bill of Materials.	Level: First Level assigns a simple integer value to direct children.	Minimum Digits provides control to set the minimum number of digits displayed for item numbering. The range is fixed from 1 to 6 digits
	All Levels provides full expanded numbering. This option provides a delimiter that works in conjunction with expanded items. Child items receive indented concatenated numbering.	Delimiter Sets a delimiter for structured item numbering. This option restarts numbering for each level.
Parts Only	Numbering: Numeric numeric text.	Minimum Digits provides control to set the minimum number of digits displayed for item numbering. The range is fixed from 1 to 6 digits.
	Alpha provides full expanded numbering. This option provides a delimiter that works in conjunction with expanded items. Child items receive indented concatenated numbering based on the same rules as in parts lists today.	Case Select upper or lower
Structured (legacy)	Inheritance Determines if nested levels in a parts list inherit changes made to the item value of the parent assembly (for example, if the assembly item value changes from 1 to A, the nested parts change from 1.1, 1.2, to A.1, A.2).	Delimiter Sets a delimiter for structured item numbering.
