Bill Of Materials Solidworks Drawing

Specifies how parts with multiple assembly configurations appear in the BOM.

Display as one item number

Uses the same item number for different configurations of a component in different top-level assembly configurations. Each unique component configuration can be present in only one of the assembly configurations in the BOM. This option applies when you create a BOM. If you switch it after the BOM is created, there is no change. When you use this option, set BOM Type to Top-level only.

For example, one configuration of an assembly has the following components:

part1 (config_A)
part1 (config_A)
part1 (config_A)

And another configuration of the same assembly has different configurations of the same component:

part1 (config_B)
part1 (config_B)
part1 (config_B)

A Top-level only BOM that references both assembly configurations with Display as one item number selected appears as:

ITEM NO.	PART NUMBER	config_A / QTY.	config_B / QTY.
1	part1 (config_A)	3	-
1	part1 (config_B)	-	3

To see the configuration name in the PART NUMBER column, go to the part document. In the ConfigurationManager tab, right-click each configuration, and click Properties. Under Part number displayed when used in a bill of materials, select Configuration Name. Alternatively, right-click a component in the BOM's assembly structure column and click Component Options. Under Part Number, select Configuration Name, then click .

Display configurations of the same part as separate items

If a component has multiple configurations, each configuration appears in the BOM.

Display all configurations of the same part as one item

If a component has multiple configurations, the component appears in only one row in the BOM.

Display configurations with the same name as one item

If more than one component has the same configuration name, they appear in one row of the BOM. For this option to work properly, Part number displayed when used in a bill of materials in the part must be set to either:
