You can restructure assembly components in a BOM table
without affecting the assembly structure.
You can:
- Dissolve subassemblies or weldments.
- Combine all items that are identical to a selected item, such as
parts or weldments in the BOM.
- Drag items from one cell in the Assembly Structure column to another to
combine like items or rearrange the hierarchy.
- Display detailed weldment cut lists.
To restore restructured items, right-click a modified
assembly item
and select
Restore Restructured Components.
Dissolving Subassemblies or Weldments
You
can remove individual parent components within the indented hierarchy of a BOM while
retaining child components by dissolving items in the BOM. Right-click cells in the
BOM Assembly Structure column to dissolve selected subassemblies or weldments,
removing them from the BOM display.
In the indented display
of BOM components, right-click the first subassembly
in the BOM Assembly Structure column and select
Dissolve.
The first
subassembly is dissolved. Its parts move to the bottom of the Assembly Structure
column.
Combining Like Items
Right-click a cell in
the BOM Assembly Structure column to combine the item in the selected cell with all
identical items in the BOM.
In the indented display of BOM
components, right-click a washer
in the first
subassembly, and select
Combine Identical
Components.
All
identical washers are combined with the selected washer. Item numbers and quantities
are updated.
To separate combined
items, right-click a combined item and clear Combine
Identical Components.
Dragging Items to Restructure the BOM
You
can combine like items or rearrange items by dragging components and subassemblies
in the BOM Assembly Structure column.
You can drag:
- Weldment bodies to
weldment bodies or parts
- Parts or assemblies to
parts or bodies
- Parts, bodies, or
assemblies to assemblies
