Formatting parts lists You can define a standard format for the display of your parts list. Modifying a parts list You can modify the settings for a parts list after you place it in the drawing.

Right-click the parts list in the browser or in the graphic window, and then select options to change the display of the parts list and perform the following operations: Use Edit Parts List to: Add and remove columns in the parts list. Group rows into a common row. Sort the parts list. Export parts list data to an external file.

Modify the table layout. Renumber items in the parts list. Add and remove custom parts to the parts list. Substitute the value of one property field into a different one. You can also substitute the sum of the values of one property field into another. Define formatting properties including units of measure. Change the parts list title and location of the title. Tip: To enable stacking of fractional numbers, right-click the heading of a parts list column and choose Format Column.

Then select the stacking format and fractional text scale, and click OK in the Stack Properties and Format Column dialog box. Stock Number and Part Number property Sometimes multiple components have the same Part Number, but must be treated as separate components. I recently installed Inventor from and I'm having so many parts list and BOM issues that did not exist in Pretty much all of my assemblies are driven by iLogic.

For assemblies, my iLogic rule always created a level of detail called "iLogic". My parts lists were always correct and representative of the quantity of parts that existed for the "iLogic" LOD. Now, I routinely have parts with "0" quantities, even though they very much do and should exist in the assembly. I also have parts, such as the one highlighted in red below, that I cannot balloon and do not show in the parts list. When I go into the BOM, this part is grayed out and the BOM structure is set to "Reference" even though it is most definitely set to normal in the assembly.

In the case of factory scope editing, the default bend order behaves identically to that of a regular sheet metal component flat pattern, but it may appear to behave differently within the context of the iPart factory. The flat pattern automatically manages the bend order based upon the visible centerlines modeled or cosmetic for the active member.

Centerlines which are absent for a given member due to suppression release their bend order number to maintain a gapless sequence order on the remaining features.

Create part families that differ by size, material, or other variables. In part authoring, you design the part and define all of its variations. Start with a new or existing part or sheet metal part. Determine the portion of your design that changes with each member. Rename parameters, establish equations, and create user parameters. Use the Create iPart command to define table rows that represent versions members.

When you save the part, it is automatically saved as an iPart factory. Information an iPart Can Include Parameters. Use the Parameters Editor to rename parameters, establish equations between parameters, and create user parameters. Include information such as part number, stock number, and material. Your bill of materials and parts list are automatically kept up to date.

Include different thread families, designations, classes, direction, and pipe diameter. Include or suppress iMates, or specify offset values, matching names, and sequence number.

Work features. Include or exclude work features or set their visibility status. Feature suppression status. By suppressing features, you can include several configurations of a single part in one file.

For example, one configuration of the part has an extrusion with a cut, while another has an extrusion with a join. In sheet metal iParts, you can suppress features that were added to the flat pattern, making individual flat patterns unique for iPart member files. Specify iFeatures to include in the iPart. If the iFeature includes a table, you can specify the iFeature row value and the suppression status for each row.

You can also save an entire iPart as a table-driven iFeature. A member column in the iPart table generates a default file name based on the factory name. Each member name is incremented. Custom parts steel shapes, rivets have a parameter set arbitrarily within the defined range of values.

The basic component in a Content Center library is a family part family or feature family. A family contains family members that have the same template and family properties, and represent size variations of a part or feature. Families are arranged in categories and subcategories. A category is a logical grouping of part types.
