Working with BOMs

Scroll

1.There has appeared the option to simultaneously disable/enable grouping for all the objects existing in the BOM. For this purpose, the commands Ungroup аll and Group аll from the Management – Grouping menu are used. After invoking the Ungroup All command, the Group option is disabled for all objects, as a result of which all previously grouped twin items in the BOM stop being grouped and are displayed each on their own row. Command Group all executes the reverse action.

2.If a BOM-document (file *.spw) is attached to the BOM item, then the format of this document (usually A4) automatically transferred to the BOM item. The format transfer from another connected document, if it was included, is disabled, except when an object receives the format from another BOM connected previously.

3.Revised management of product version numbers in the BOM: added to current BOM settings section for controlling new version numbers, similar to that used when setting up an assembly. In addition, a control has been added to the BOM setup for obtaining version numbers of the product from the connected document, while the ability to add zeros to the numbers has been excluded (adding zeros is now enabled during the current BOM setup).
The section for managing the numbers of new versions of the product is also included in the drawing settings.
The result of these changes is a more stable operation of the set of connected documents (assembly, assembly drawing, and BOM), the ability to establish the digit capacity of version numbers in the drawing and BOM, and also the correct transfer of the digit capacity of numbers set in the assembly to the BOM (previously, in some cases, manual correction of version numbers in the BOM was required).

4.Revised the dialogs BOM style settings and BOM settings. In the BOM settings dialog, changing the style of the current BOM has become available. Previously, the selection of style was possible in the Tree and in the dialog for establishing document parameters.

5. To be reworked BOM descriptions management dialog , as a result of which it became more informative and convenient.
