Parametric model + Level of Details + associated BOM

[ali.jahed]

Hi All,

Let me put it in a very simple example.

I have an assembly contains:

1. Pan screw
2. CSK Screw

Then I have Level of details (LOD) as:

1. Master - contains both
2. Pan - the CSK screw suppressed
3. CSK - the Pan screw suppressed

Now: 

I double click on LOD  "Pan" to make it active and what I see on the screen will be my Pan head screw; however, when I go to BOM I see both of them listed!

Is there any way to have the associated BOM to LOD?

Next level question:

in my ilogic rule when I am in "Master" LOD the following code:

ThisBOM.Export("Parts Only", "Test.xls", kMicrosoftExcelFormat)

generate the BOM having both screws listed in excel file; however, by changing the LOD to Pan (or CSK) it comes back with the following error:

Error in rule: Rule0, in document: Test.iam

ThisBOM: Could not find a BOM view named "Parts Only".
If the name is correct, then please enable this BOM view, and save the assembly. (my comment: The name is correct and it is enable)

Please advise...

Cheers

Ali

p.s. the more I investigate the more I think iAssembly is the correct choice for creating configurations. Through this way I could manage the asembly BOM right but I still cannot create the correct BOM out of iLogic rule.

Hi you can associate LOD in drawing part list.

ThisBOM.Export("Parts Only", "Test.xls", kMicrosoftExcelFormat)

I think you got error because Parts Only view is not enabled in BOM editor.

Thanks for your reply,

As I mentioned previously it's enable.
