    BOM display of derived part (casted then machined)

    dgowans, I thought about it over the weekend, and I like the idea of using an assy file. It offers fewer modeling options to show the machining, but I think it simplifies the information I want to show. Thanks. Gus

    BOM display of derived part (casted then machined)

    Thanks Tick, That sounds like a good option. But I'm tring to stick to a personal rule, that I keep a ono-to-one relationship between part files, and drawing files. So a drawing file can only document (call-up) the part file with the same name. The above option would have the drawing file...

    BOM display of derived part (casted then machined)

    We purchase a casted part, and then machine it. I'm having difficulty getting the BOM in the .sdldrw file to look right. The casted part is defined in a .sldprt file, with a corresponding .sdldrw file. I then create a derived part in another .sldprt file by "Menu >> Insert >> Part". Apply...
