BOM part number issues

[jman482002]

Okay, I have renamed several parts that are used in an assembly. That assembly is referenced in a drawing, but the BOM is still reflecting the old part names. In fact the vault still seems to contain these parts. Any ideas?

I used SW explorer to rename the parts.

What did you use to rename the parts?

 

[jman482002]

Solidworks explorer.

If using PDMWorks, rename them within PDMWorks, then check out from there.
If not using PDMW, use SW Expl.

jman482002 ... sorry I didn't realise that was you posting in the second post.

Are you sure you renamed and not copied?

Try opening the drawing in SW Explorer and renaming from it.

Are the parts set to use config name or user-specified name in the BOM rather than doc name?

 

[jman482002]

No, the document name is what is displayed in BOM.

jman - maybe an obvious one but delete the BOM table & re-insert it. In some instances the BOM freezes, dunno why, just does.
