Auto-updation of BOM with addition/deletion of parts in assembly

Hi all,

@

I have created an assembly with around 200 of parts using top down design. The components are getting added or deleted from this assembly based on its variants thru Pro/program.

Every time when we regenerate assembly for different variants the BOM in drawing getting disturbed due to addition/deletion of components in that assembly. This BOM is created using fix-index and arranged in the assembly sequence. After regeneration we have to spend lot of time to arrange the BOM again as per our requirement.

Pls suggest the way by which we can avoid the manual work require for updation of BOM.

Thanks in advance.

You should probably unfix the BOM table and use some other method of sorting the table according to the assembly sequence.

One option could be to add a new parameter/column that define the items position in the assembly sequence and use this column when sorting the BOM table, just an idea..

Yup, instead of rpt.index use a user defined parameter in your repeat region and use it also to sort the repeat region.
