Could we get some improvements in the instance functionality. Today I have to deactivate the "Merge Instance Rows" option in BOM and number the parts manually by overriding the item number. In our ERP system the pos\item number + the partnumber is always unique. With the instance functionality in Inventor we hoped for the option to use instances in a way that allow us to have e.g. 1 unique position\item numbers together with 1 partnumber but different instances.
If I have 3 different instances of the same item in my assembly, I want to present them in the drawing partlist as 3 rows. This must be manually fixed today and the Vault item doesn't support this if the child item containing these instances. It dissapears when vault item is assigned.
I feel the instance value together with the item\pos no. and partnumber should be what makes a line unique. (Not only partnumber and pos.number) Should be possible present it like below without merging.
Pos\Item | Instance\Tag | Qty | PartNumber
1 | H01 | 1 | 12345
1 | H02 | 1 | 12345
1 | H03 | 1 | 12345
