BOM of Large Sub Assembly

[ghareeb98]

<big>
Hello everybody,


I have two assemblies A1 and A2.

Assy A1 contains sub assemblies SA1, SA2, SA3 and SA4

Assy A2 contains sub assemblies SA1, SA3, SA5 and SA6



This is what I need to do:

I need to create drawings for all the sub assemblies SA1,
SA2.......SA6, showing a BOM and balloons of all their components and
at the same time (on the same drawing) show how these sub assemblies
are assembled to the top assemblies A1 and A2.

I think the solution is in finding a way to add a "phantom" model of A1
or A2 in the drawings of the sub assemblies, without having that
"phantom" part show up in the BOM of the sub assembly (without having
to filter it out of the BOM table and without using shrinkwrap or
exported geometries). Does anybody know how to do this?



Regards

First you need to create drawing of sub asm SA1, then your drawing and BOM will be showing components of sub asm SA1.
After you have created drawing add in this drawing your asm A1 by adding model in drawing.
To add model in drawing, RMB on drawing > Properties > Drawing Models > Add Model.
Now on bottom of drawing, under Name you can select which model is currently active on drawing (the active model you can add view, BOM etc.).


Also you can change model in BOM by selecting Table > Repeat Region > Model/Rep, and then you select which model you want to be shown in BOM of drawing.


Hope it helps

I forgot to point out that both top level assemblies A1 and
A2 have some common sub assemblies, but not all. Therefore, while I can add A1
to drawings of say SA2 or SA4. I cannot do that with SA1, because it is shared
by both A1 and A2, which are two different products!
