Assembly Template BOM not starting at "1"

Anonymous — Wed, 19 Oct 2016 20:16:28 GMT

I created a new "Assembly" template in IV2015 including some, new to me, Ilogic. In the process I must have done some testing and inserted some parts into the assembly. Now when creating a new assembly, and IDW, the bom and parts list starts at line #4, not #1. Is there a way to reset this? How can I fix it if not?

Thanks

Mark, I had tried this before. It re "numbers" the bill of material but does not re "set" it, if that makes any sense. When creating a new assembly, if I look at the bom after a part is inserted, the first item number is still "4".

I did find a fix however in another post. If I right click on the Structured tab in the assembly and disable, accept the message that pops up and then Enable the tab it resets so that "1" is the beginning number.

I understand your problem. To solve it at the main source, go into your assembly model. Click the Assemble ribbon, Bill of Materials. In the opening windows, click the Structured ribbon.
From there, you can adjust any number that have changed during your added/removed/replaced parts.

Hope it solve your problem.
