Component Part Number
in Configurations
When you create configurations with a design table, the software automatically
sets options in the Configuration
Properties PropertyManager. Under Part
number displayed when used in a bill of materials, the Configuration
Name is selected. A bill
of materials for an assembly that contains the document lists
the part configuration name in the PART
NO. column.
In a design
table, the $PARTNUMBER
parameter lets you specify a different
value for the PART NO. column
of the BOM. For an assembly document, this is the part number used when
this configuration of the assembly appears in the BOM as a sub-assembly.
The column header uses this syntax:
$PARTNUMBER
The column header is not
case sensitive.
In the table body cells, type the part number for each configuration.
The following table shows values that can be used with this parameter:
Value |
Property
Used |
$D
or $DOCUMENT |
Document name |
$P
or $PARENT |
Parent configuration name (derived configurations
only) |
$C
or $CONFIGURATION |
Configuration name |
<any_text> |
Custom name |
<blank> |
Configuration name |
If multiple configurations of the same document are used in an assembly,
the BOM lists each configuration by name as a separate item number. If
you do
not want each configuration listed separately in the BOM, do one
of the following:
Assign the same value for the $PARTNUMBER
parameter in all the configurations.
After the design table creates all of the configurations,
edit the properties of each configuration, and select Document
Name. To override the document name, you can use the Title
specified under File,
Properties for
the component document.

a BOM with custom names:
