Bill of material generation issue

I have an assembly  which includes another one assembly also. So the issue is when i am generating the bill of material, the assembly which i have attached to the main assembly showing as single item with the assembly name.

 

The sub assembly i have attached to the main assembly by place and constaint option.does that making the problem ?

Open assembly, go to BOM, on the tab structured click right mouse button and chose view properties, then change level to ALL LEVELS.

Thanks for the reply

 

I did it for all assembly, but still its coming same.

 

If i create a new *.idw file for the same assembly its works fine. But the existing drawing file its not working

I tried and it worked OK.

 

In idw file You have to open part list, and then you'll see sign '+ ' in front of subassembly - just click it to unroll subas.

when I open part list1, I cant see any +.( I am using inventor 2010)

 

Hopes u are saying about the model tree, then its ok, if i select the  sub assembly and click on the + i can see all the items.

 

But when i am generating the part list (Bill of material) its shows as single item. (See the attached image)

 

the funny thing is if i attach the same assembly in a new sheet and generate part list its working fine.

 

see the attachment

 

thanks for ur time

When inserting part list to idw file - try to change level to ALL LEVELS (there is first level in your part_list.png)

Please give us know 😉

If you want the individual items in the "Platform Assembly" to be listed in the main assembly idw, you will have to change the "Platform Assembly" to a Phantom assembly.

 

There are several ways to do this.  One way is to do this:

Open the Skid&Platform Assembly.iam

Go to the Assembly tab>Manage Panel>Bill of Materials

Find the "Platform Assembly" in this list.

In the BOM structure column, change this to "Phantom".

 

Now the parts in the platform assembly will be shown in the Skid and Platform idw.

 

The Phantom assembly is a nice way to tidy up the Browser and group parts together.  For Pahntom assemblies, Inventor ignores that it is an assembly and lists the parts in the assembly one level up.
