    Invisible Parts in BOM?

    Answer me this, oh wise ones...

    If I have an assembly that may have several optional parts, I will turn the
    visiblility of these parts on and off as needed. Problem is, they still
    show up in the Parts List/BOM.

    How do I get around this? As an aside, does the API support a way to
    generate a BOM of only the visible parts in an assembly?

    Thanks,

    In the assy RMB on the optional part => Properities => Occurence tab and check on "Reference". This will exclude the item(s) from the BOM.

    Has this been fixed in SP1?  I know it did not
    work before.

    Sorry, haven't actually done this in R6. I didn't realize that they broke this ability. I was going off of my previous release experience. I'll have to look into this later. My error.
