Bug report: BOM miscounts QTY for some parts

info7JY2S — Wed, 06 Mar 2019 15:45:10 GMT

Hey,

i've encountered a bug which puts a wrong QTY in the Bill of Materials.

í've got this model with a browser tree (containing 23 components):

which has 2 components called "Strip 60x6 - 1" (instance 9 and 10)

Component in question is a copy of a recurring part in other assemblies. Nothing special about it.

In the drawing view i've inserted a BOM which looks like this (But only a total of 22 components):

What is the reason for 1 part not being counted?

Balloons can be added correctly in the drawing to both components.

Hi @info7JY2S

Interesting. Can you share the file? Was the second instance of the component created using a copy > Paste new, or another way?

Cheers,

Karina

Hello Karina,

the component was created by the move command (with copy option checked)

The component was coming from another assembly within the same model.

The model can be found here: https://a360.co/2IVs9bh

The drawing over here: https://a360.co/2TkOYdd

Hey @info7JY2S

Looks like someone else has reported this as well- a workaround to get it to show correctly is to double click the BOM, turn off "quantity" then turn it back on again. Then the quantity shows up correctly.

I'll add your file to the ticket so they can use it to test as well.

Let me know if that works for you,

Karina

Well, it works... so thanks i guess.

Hope this will be fixed in a future update. It's a bit annoying that i have to manually check all quantities and not being able to thrust the software in a simple counting procedure..

Hey @info7JY2S

I agree, it should work fine. It's hard to say why it's not, but it is an essential feature. Our developers are looking at it and hopefully we'll have a fix soon!

The good news is that we now have two examples of this occurring that can be dissected and maybe they can figure out from there why this is happening.

Cheers,

Karina

Now i get "spammed" by autodesk: "if a reply answers your question, mark it as an accepted solution"

Well, I do not accept this workaround as a "solution"...

Can you please stop the spamming and notify me when it's properly fixed?

Thank you!

Hi @info7JY2S

Marking a solution allows other users who are experiencing the same issue to see what the resolution is.

In this case, the solution/resolution is that this has been logged with the development team. We currently don't have a system that notifies users when an issue is fixed, so there is no way to do as you ask.

It's in the hands of the Fusion developers now.

Cheers,

Karina

@karina.harper

I don't know if anything has changed yet in the last update, but i'm having a new but almost similar issue now:

I've got a standard component which repeats in 41 times total over 15 subassemblies in one big assembly

When generating a BOM in a drawing of a subassembly, the part now has a QTY of 41 (While there's only being 5 instances in the subassembly).

Turning QTY on and off doesn't work in this case

Hi @info7JY2S

If you'd like to share the file, I can take a look and see if I can figure out the issue.

I believe if you share the drawing file the associated f3d files should come with it.

Cheers,

Karina

Hi @info7JY2S

Thanks for sending me the file. It looks like yours is a very similar issue and is being worked on by the development team. (FDWG-10323)

I've added your file to the internal ticket so they can use it for testing purposes.

Cheers,

Karina

Hi @info7JY2S

Nothing to report, this is still under development. I made a note that it is of high value and customers are requesting a fix.

Cheers,

I recently found out what's going on here. Fusion counts all copy's of the same part for the entire model, even while not on the drawing.

I discovered this while making a drawing of a single subassembly that was repeated 12 times in the model. I only want the QTY for the components that are actually on the drawing. Not for the entire model!

Please solve this. It's very annoying to not even be able to thrust the automatically generated BOM.

Hi All,

It seams like I still have this issue. My title block count is including all the particular parts from my entire top-bottom assembly instead of the amount I actually need in my sub-assembly. Have we gotten a fix for this yet?

My fix is to save my sub-assembly individually then generate a drawing of that file separate from my top assembly.

It defies the purpose of designing in a top-bottom environment, especially in a prototype stage, lots can changes.

Thanks!

Dan.

I did some reading on several issues on this forum and came to the conclusion that a lot of problems are unsolved for months or even years despite promises from the dev's of solving it / working on it.

I'm starting to wonder if Autodesk takes Fusion seriously...
