Hi folks, I have two assemblies (Assembly A and Assembly B), and an item used in both (Component). Assembly A is using that component as a normal component, all is well. Assembly B uses the component only as a Reference in the drawings and while modelling to help as a visual representation to show how Assembly B is used.
In my opinion, I should be able to make the component "Normal" in Assembly A's BOM, and "Reference" in Assembly B's BOM. Instead, I'm finding that the Component's structure is propagating everywhere it's used (Inventor 2023). So this workflow doesn't fly. Is this expected behavior?
As a workaround, I suppose I will need to set it as Normal and make manual overrides in the drawing to remove it from the Parts' List and label it as a reference item. Still, seems like odd behavior.
Thanks
