BOM and the new array or visibility states

[Anonymous]

When I use the new (2012) array instead of arrayclassic, any partrefs inside the array are ignored by the BOM. Any method to prevent this other then exploding (so: basically using the old array)?

Simulary... can partrefs be ignored on purpose when "invisible" in a visibility state dynamic block?

(i dunno, but it seems the Mechanical bit is really starting to get behind on the AutoCAD bit 😞 )

Hi,

Custom objects (all mechanical entities) are not supported in Associative array.  Hence they are removed from the array or prompt user to create a non associative array.

This is already logged as a wish list.

User need to manually switchoff partrefs in BOM dialog if visibility states are used in dynamic blocks.  Please let me know if you need further clarification on this.

Thanks,
