- Default BOMs
When you create a Bill of Materials from the default BOM template, bom-standard, the resulting default BOM has four columns: ITEM NO., PART NUMBER, DESCRIPTION, and QTY. You can use custom properties to define other BOM columns.
- Bill of Materials Multiple Configurations
- Bill of Materials Sort
- Saving Sort Settings for BOMs
You can save sort settings for BOM tables with the Save current sort settings option in the Sort dialog box.
- Bill of Materials Quantity
You can link a custom property for a part and its associated value to the BOM quantity in a BOM. When the part appears in a BOM, the quantity is calculated as the value assigned to the custom property multiplied by the number of parts.
- Component Options Dialog Box
You can specify options for components in BOMs such as part numbers, child component display, and how quantities are calculated.
- Displaying Configuration-Specific Quantities in BOMs
BOM quantities are configuration-specific. You can select a configuration for which to display quantities. For top-level BOMs, you can display quantities for each configuration.
- Changing the Configuration Quantities Displayed in a BOM
BOM quantities are configuration-specific.
- Equations in Tables and BOMs
- Creating Bills of Materials from Parts or Assemblies
You can create one or more Bills of Materials (BOMs) directly from an assembly or part without first creating a drawing.
- Working with Parts or Assembly BOMs
After creating a part or assembly BOM, you can open assembly BOMs in a separate window from the assembly view, export assembly BOMs into different formats, and copy an assembly BOM into a referenced drawing.
- Detailed Weldment Cut Lists in BOMs
You can include detailed weldment cut lists for parts and assemblies in BOMs. You can insert multiple weldment cut lists in a single BOM. You can insert multiple BOMs in a single drawing with multiple views.
- Bill of Materials Weldment Parts
You can expand and collapse weldments in BOMs to hide or view details of a weldment cut.
- Opening the Bill of Materials PropertyManager for Displayed BOMs
Set properties of BOM tables in the Bill of Materials PropertyManager.
- Restructuring BOMs
You can restructure assembly components in a BOM table without affecting the assembly structure.
- Moving BOMs
You can move BOMs within a drawing sheet, or move them from one sheet to another.
- Dissolving a Subassembly or Weldment in BOMs
You can dissolve components of subassemblies or weldments in a bill of materials (BOM).
- Displaying Detailed Cut Lists in BOMs
You can include detailed weldment cut lists for parts and assemblies in BOMs. You can insert multiple weldment cut lists in a single BOM. You can insert multiple BOMs in a single drawing with multiple views.
- Indented BOMs
- BOM Assembly Structure and Balloons
You can expand a BOM to view the assembly structure. For models with balloons, the assembly structure column is preceded by a per-component listing of balloons.
- Removing BOM Item Numbers from a Row
You can hide the item numbers for rows you add to a BOM. For example, rows used for calculations do not require item numbers.
- Splitting BOMs
You can divide a BOM at any row or column by splitting it.
- Merging BOMs
You can merge together previously split BOMs.
- Exporting BOMs
You can save a BOM to many different file formats, including BOM templates.
