Compound Parts List

dee.bee333 — Wed, 07 Dec 2022 13:05:16 GMT

Is there a way to create a compound parts list like the attached image for various model states? Each model state has it's own assembly number and we would like to have a parts list that clearly shows the differences. I'm spinning my wheels and was hoping someone here had a good suggestion.

iAssembly would handle this easily.

Hi, could you be i little more specific?

When you create several model states, those diferences can be reflected directly in the bill of materials. The deactivated pieces will appear in the bill of materials, but they will reflect quantity 0, but I don't know if that is what you require.

There is an option to not display the 0 Quantity now.

@AnonymousThat does sound like what I need, how do I get the parts list to display this way? I can't figure out how to display multiple model states in one parts list.

When the state of the model is active, the bill of materials will reflect it and delli can export it.

Hi! The ability to create a compound PartsList for multiple Model States like iAssembly is not yet supported. You can create a General Table by selecting a part or an assembly with multiple Model States. The Model State table will be shown on the drawing sheet.

Many thanks!
