Drawing View Partslist BOM Type

[NachitoMax]

Hi

if i copy a drawing view to a new drawing and run my routine to create a partslist on "Parts Only", it works just fine but if i run the same routine on the same drawing view in an existing drawing sheet, the partslist defers to a "Structured" view.

in code, how can i force a Parts Only partslist to be created?

i have tried enabling the Parts only like this-

       Dim sDoc As AssemblyDocument
       Set sDoc = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(omodelPath, True)

       Dim oBOM As bom
        Set oBOM = sDoc.ComponentDefinition.bom
        'component definition does not work

        ' Make sure that the structured view is enabled.
        oBOM.StructuredViewEnabled = False
        oBOM.PartsOnlyViewEnabled = True

        sDoc.Save2
        sDoc.Close

        Set sDoc = Nothing

This opens the drawing view reference and attempts to enable the BOM view but nothing works, i still get a structured parts list

Ideally, i would like to do this in the drawing sheet without opening the assembly

Thanks

Hello,

do you use PartsLists.Add in your routine that creates a partslist in the drawing? If so, do you set the third parameter to kPartsOnly?

For example:

oSheet.PartsLists.Add(oDrawingView, oPlacementPoint, kPartsOnly)
