Create a Bill of Materials for the Assembly/MoldDesign application. This BOM file contains all the data regarding the components that make up the complete assembly.
The BOM Table Editor dialog is displayed:
Use the BOM Table Editor dialog to perform operations on the BOM.
Note:
Attribute modifications that are done to a part using the Properties Pane of the Cimatron E Explorer, will be updated automatically within the BOM when loading the Drafting document.
The Standard Number attribute is an exception, as this attribute affects the BOM topology (the number of rows in a Purchase List may change due to a change in this attribute). Therefore, if the Standard Number attribute was changed through the Cimatron E Explorer, the Assembly document should be opened first in order to update the BOM in the drawing.
It is highly recommended to modify the Standard Number attribute (as well as other BOM-related attributes) through the BOM in the Assembly document.
In the Assembly environment, the following additional operations are available from the BOM Table Editor (for the All Parts option only):
Exclude from BOM - exclude a component from the BOM.
Include in BOM - include a component (that was previously excluded) from the BOM.
The following buttons are used for these additional operations:
