Parts List and Suppresed Items

[Anonymous]

I have a rule that creates a drawing from a 3D Model and then attaches a Parts List.  The model I am using has some suppressed items and these are included in the Parts List.  These suppressed items are turned on and off depending on the version selected. Is there a way to exclude the suppressed items from the Parts List when it is created? Thanks, John

If you are using iLogic to suppress components (with Component.IsActive)
then iLogic will help you out by also making the component Reference BOM
Structure. Reference components don't appear in parts lists, so this will
have the desired effect.

If you're not using iLogic to suppress - one option would be to also make
the unwanted component Reference manually at the same time you suppress it
(using whatever method you prefer).

Hope this helps,
Luke

What I have is a model with two levels of representations, right hand & left hand. I have a rule that lets you select which version.  When selecting right hand, the left hand components are suppressed and vice versa.  It then creates a drawing of the assembly selected. Both sets of parts are showing up in the Parts List regardless of version selected which is what I want to turn off, the suppressed items. Is there a better way of going about this or is there a way to not display the suppressed items in the Parts List? Thanks, John
