Invisible BOM Structure

Invisible BOM Structure

Would really be handy to have a bom structure that made parts visually appear in drawings to have a normal BOM structure but not show up in the structured and parts only BOM. Reference accomplishes the BOM part of this but doesn't show up in the drawings properly. Phantom works for this but only applies to the part/assembly you apply it to and not sub-assemblies/parts, and modifies the BOM structure for all occurrances everywhere of the part/assembly, rather than just in the instance you are looking at.

 

To summarize, I am looking for a BOM structure that doesn't change drawing views, but for parts lists and the BOM window, makes the part/assembly and all sub-assemblies/parts invisible for only this specific occurrance (looks like normal/inseparable/purchased/phantom BOM structure for drawing views, and looks and behaves like reference BOM structure for BOM window).

 

Hopefully this makes sense.

Makes perfect sense. This Ideastation post sounds similar to what you are asking for: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideastation/reference-part-bom-viewed-in-full-colour/idi-p/47...

Ya that is exactly the same thing, just worded better
