Ilogic to make a parts BOM structure to Phantom from an assembly rule

[gazadder]

Is it possible to change a parts BOM structure using Ilogic from Normal to Phantom from an assembly rule? I can change a parts BOM Structure to Reference however the problem is the part I require is within a pattern and changing the BOM structure is just changing 1 occurance of the pattern so if there are 12 occurances then only 1 of them is changing to Reference.

The below code is what I am using that doesn't quite do what I want.

oCompOcc = Component.InventorComponent("INNER_STIFFENING_RING​_1")
oCompOcc.BOMStructure = BOMStructureEnum.kReferenceBOMStructure

You may change the Bom Structure to Phantom via BOMRow.BOMStructure property.

Could you please look at the following thread?

I have seen this thread before but my skill level doesn't let me modify it to be specific to a particular part from within an assembly?

[Vladimir.Ananyev · Accepted solution]

The following method should work:

'get the reference to the component by its name
Dim oOcc As ComponentOccurrence = Component.InventorComponent("INNER_STIFFENING_RING​_1")
' set BOM structure to Phantom
oOcc.Definition.BOMStructure = BOMStructureEnum.kPhantomBOMStructure

'oOcc.Definition.BOMStructure = BOMStructureEnum.kNormalBOMStructure
'oOcc.Definition.BOMStructure = BOMStructureEnum.kPurchasedBOMStructure
'oOcc.Definition.BOMStructure = BOMStructureEnum.kInseparableBOMStructure

Many thanks for this Vladimir.
