Show 2 diff. parts as 1 in BOM table

[victor-dot-com]

I have a two instances in an assy, but I want them to show up as one part in the BOM. So it looks something like this now:


name qty


part-a 1


part-b 1


But I want it to look like this:


part-a 2


There has to be a way to do this with the right combo of relations. Thanks for the help.

Can you put both part a nad b in and assy named part a?

 

[alibahadir]

you can have a string type of parameter called lat say "partnumber" for all components in your assembly.


Make the "partnumber" value equal for part-a and part-b.


In this case (partnumber=part-a) for both.


Populate your Repeat region based on this "partnumber" parameter, not name.


That will combinepart-a and part-bthe identical partnumber values in one row and make the quantity equal to 2.

ali,


That's exactly what I thought I could do. Thankfully, I have a parameter already in my parts I can use called part_number.


How do I get that parameter to show up in my asm.mbr.name column? I tried a few things, but it didn't work.


thanks.

it is





asm.mbr.User Defined --- then type the text part_number> Enter





Make sure that thru Table>Repeat Region>Attributes Select the repeat region and make it no Duplicates
