Displaying Derived Part References

The support for the derived part references is improved and you can view them in the file view tabs and SOLIDWORKS PDM Add-in.

  • Computed BOM

    You can configure a computed BOM to include derived part references. In the Administration tool, open the Bill of Materials dialog box, and select Include derived part references.

  • Contains and Where Used tabs

    You can view derived part references in the Contains and Where Used tabs regardless of the selected configuration. Previously, derived part references were displayed only when you selected the Do not show configurations option for the configuration.

  • SOLIDWORKS PDM Add-in

    In SOLIDWORKS, click Tools > SOLIDWORKS PDM > Options. In the View Setting tab, select Display top level derived part references in assemblies and drawings. You can view the top-level derived part references in the reference structure for assemblies and drawings.

    You can also view 3D Interconnect derived part references in the reference structure of the parent part file.
