Michael Kovacik AutoCAD 2d & 3d & Inventor Manufacturing Draughtsman Autodesk Product Design Suite Ultimate 2017 The parts list conversion can change the parts list contents. Note that the parts list is obtained from the BOM but is not the same thing. However, if you have an Assembly model that has a mix of normal and sheet metal components, there is no way to distinguish between the 2 part types in the BoM environment. In the iProperties dialog box, select the Occurrence tab. By providing an API, Inventor also provides you the ability to better integrate Inventor into your overall Enterprise process.
In the Assembly Panel, there is a "Bill of Materials" feature that will pull up your BOM. The generated Bill of Materials includes all information needed for production – product structure, a summary of materials and purchased components, cutting list, general list of parts, etc. The component has a BOM structure of Purchased, but lives inside a sub-assembly with a BOM Structure of Inseparable. The whole information is derived to Referencing parts and sub Assemblies directly won’t allow you to create a coordinated BOM, parts list and part number Balloons… Unless you use the technique described in this post! Autodesk Inventor, Creating a coordinated BOM for Large Assemblies This behaviour has apparently been changed in Inventor 2012 BOM. In a parts-only parts list or BOM, all children of a purchased assembly are hidden. Inventor 2015 - Cannot Change BOM Structure. If the CM ends up working from a parts list instead of a BOM generated from the CAD tools, it could slow down or stop manufacturing for the following reasons: Autodesk Inventor has an Excellent Bill of Materials (BoM) interface which allows user to create and Export BoM's from the assembly environment. You can edit the values in the cells of a parts list. An engineering bill of materials is a list of all of the parts in the a product’s design of a product. Inventor bom vs parts list Subsequent parts-lists on a drawing itemise every component making efficient documentation difficult.
