BOM Flat except for one subassembly?

[AchrisK]

I am not entirely familiar with repeat regions and whatnot, but I am starting to get an idea. The company has a bom table that automatically populates in an assembly drawing. It was made "flat", so that it only lists one level of components.

Is there a way to get it to be flat, except for one subassembly? So in the top level assembly let's say I have five parts and five subassemblys, each with three components. I want to show all five parts, plus four subassemblies, plus the parts from the fifth subassembly (but not the fifth subassy as a line item). So I want a BOM that will show 12 items, numbered 1-12.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Well, I got responses through another source (PTC User email exploder), and they gave me exactly what I needed.

I will post them here so that anyone searching here in the future can find them.

In the menu for Repeat Region, there is a menu option for Flat/Rec Item. You select Flat/Rec Item then select the table. Make sure the RECUR ITEM is set to Recursive in the menu and then select the assy you want to see the sub assy. It should expand to the components of that assy. You can use FILTERS in the menu to remove the items you don't want to see.

First set the table to flat:

Table >Repeat Region> Attributes > Flat > Done

Then expand the one you want:

Table > Repeat Region> Flat/Rec Item> Rec > pick the item you want to expand.

You need to look into "recursive" under repeat regions. That will allow you to filter any item in the BOM table.
