Can you make BOM # and part# the same?

[Teabags]

I was wondering if there is an easy way to force the catia BOM number to match the partnumber, short of writing a script to do it?

 

[DBezaire]

which field in the bom are you trying to match?

 

[Teabags]

I want to match the catia generated number for ballooning and the PartNumber that appears in the tree.

That is script material, but why do you want to rename parts??? I would not recommend renaming parts, if you work in cache mode you can lose links to other parts.

Regards,
Derek

In drafting you can balloon with partnumber...

Tools / Options / Drafting // Annotations and Dress Up :

Balloon Creation Associativity with : Numbering / Part Number / Instance Name
