Create Parts List Reference
Set the data source, BOM settings, and table wrap settings when you create a parts list.
Source
Selects the source for the parts list. |
Select View | Selects a drawing view to identify a target for parts list. |
File | Selects a file to be used as the parts list source. Select a file from the list, or click Browse to locate the file. |
Model State | Selects the model state to be used as the parts list source. Select a model state from the drop list. |
BOM Settings and Properties
BOM View settings determine available settings and properties. Note: Structured Properties are only available if the BOM view has not been defined in the assembly Bill of Materials. |
Structured | 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. |
Parts only (legacy) | View properties are not applicable for Parts only (legacy) |
Select Member | Specifies if the parts list is created for specific iAssembly members or for the whole iAssembly. Select the check box to create a parts list for members only or clear the check box to create a parts list for the entire iAssembly. |
Table Wrapping
Manages the appearance of a parts list in the drawing. |
Direction to Wrap Table | Places the columns to the left or right when you increase the number of rows in the parts list. |
| Left: Wraps the parts list rows to the left. |
| Right: Wraps the parts list rows to the right. |
Enable Automatic Wrap | Enables controls for automatic wrapping. |
Maximum Rows | Specifies the number of rows to display in one section. Type the appropriate number. |
Number of Sections | Specifies the number of sections to wrap. Type the appropriate number. |
