Hi,,
I saw your answer here. I am having trouble changing a reference subassembly to normal. What I mean is, I am adding an assembly TO an assembly, and it comes in as Reference. How do I get that subassembly to NOT be reference in the first place? (Plus there is not a choice to set it to normal. Both choices are reference, the defaut as well. If I try to change it in the BOM it changes back to reference by iteslf.)
Was it saved as a reference assembly somehow? If so, how can I set it back to normal without having to re build it?
Thanks for ANY help on this, it's driving me crazy.
Try this: open the subassembly, go Tools-->Document Settings-->Bill of Materials.
Here is a screen shot for your convenience.
Best Regards,
Igor.
Thanks for the reply! It's exactly what I was looking for.

P.S. - I also now realize that I needed to check the subassy out of Vault in order for the BOM change to 'stick'. That's probably why it kept changing back. Pretty obvious now. -Thanks again.
Hi Dan,
I have had a look at the web sites you have provided at the bottom of your reply. Interesting job you do!
Best Regards,
Igor.
i am glad i came across this thread...very helpful!...i spent 2 hours looking for this answer, and right, RMB on the part and change the BOM structure...all the while i was in the file itself in document settings but all are normal never thought it can be override in the top assembly.
Granted you found a solution but as a reference you may want to review this https://synergiscadblog.com/2015/02/06/inventor-bill-of-materials-structures/
