Drawing Table (Deleted item line number)

On an assembly drawing bom table with 20 items. I remove line item #5 and insert a new component.

How do you I make the bom table place the new component at the top of the bom table instead of reusing line item #5?

Thank you in advance.

The bom is sorted by item no. and if you are not assigning item no., then yes, this is how it sorts. If each component has an item number assigned, you can control where in the list they go.

What you may have to do is delete the original item 5; regenerate the bom, and then place the new item. the routine is probably looking for the 1st available number in the sequence.

Welcome to the forum, Ross.

How did you generate the table?

Hi Antonius,

I use a company .frm (repeat region) that will populate the components when setting a drawing model assembly. I am using Creo and as stated above, I would like to add components to the model without the table reusing an erased line item number. I would like the new components to go to the top (40) of the table and not use line item 21 thru 22.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ross

Thank you Antonius and Martin,

I appreciate all of your help. I am able to control where the items in the bom end up.

You both receive an "adda boy" from me.
