Questions regard BOM

  1. How to excude out assembly level features in the BOM?
  2. creo1.jpg
  3. Sometimes supplier's 3D model is an assembly, so i only need top assembly to show in the BOM, how to excude out it's subpart and subassembly items in the BOM? (In solidworks i can simplely check not show in BOM)
  4. When you have big assembly file, you group your parts into subassembly file, so i don't care this subassembly in the BOM, all i need is all the parts and subassembly in it. (In Solidworks, i just simplely promote everything in that assemble file then only shows parts in side.)
  5. How to export above adjusted BOM into excel? and how to do that without create a drawing? (Solidworks can build BOM table straight in modelling interface)

Hi,

1.] I have never seen assembly BOM containing assembly features

 

2.] in Creo 8.0 inseparable assembly finsctionality was implemented

https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r8.0/usascii/index.html#page/assembly/asm/inseperable_assemblies/About_Inseparable_Assemblies.html 

 

3.] you can set filter rule ... &asm.mbr.type == PART

 

4.] you can save repeat region table as CSV file

you can save BOM from assembly mode, too ... as text file ... unfortunatelly this option is difficult to configure

Hi,

I know how to create assembly feature ... but I have never seen assembly BOM containing assembly features.

Just to follow up on What @MartinHanak said you can filter on name as well:

 

Table Tab -> Repeat Region -> Filters -> Pick BOM Table -> Edit

 

Then put add the line below or customize it as needed

 

&asm.mbr.name != *CUT-EXTRUDE*
