iLogic - Change BOM Structure from Default(Reference)

[Anonymous]

Context:

Inventor 2016, In an assembly, using iLogic, changing the BOM structure.

Code:

'Sets BOM Structure to Default (Remove from BOM)
Component.InventorComponent("Hardware (1):1").BOMStructure  = BOMStructureEnum.kDefaultBOMStructure

ThisDoc.Save

Problem:

When I use iLogic to change the BOM structure of a component from Reference to Default I get the following situation

It shows as Default(Reference) in the browser, and still reference in the BOM. It should be Default in both.

Anyone encountered this problem before? Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Ben

No, that is as expected.

What you see in the BOM is the DOCUMENT BOM Structure settings that is applied as the default you see in the right click context menu.

The right click context menu is for the OCCURRENCE BOM Structure and will only change the BOM Structure of the occurrence.

In order to change the document BOM Structure, you need to access the document object rather than just the occurrence.

This can be done by something like...

ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.Occurrences.OccurrenceByName("OccurrenceName").Defintion.Document.BOMStructure.

Use the inventor Programming help as found through the inventor window by the "x" and it will eventually lead you to the right syntax.
