Can anyone tell me of a way to create groupings of parts (not assemblies) like blocks in AutoCad.
I would like to place small "groups" into my model and have the BOM read as separate parts. For instance, every time i use a #4 button head screw, i also use (and constrain) a #4 helical lock washer and #4 flat washer. If i could make a group and insert that, AND HAVE THE BOM "SEE" 3 ITEMS then i would save myself 65% of key strokes required to accomplish the task.
I don't want the BOM to show individual parts for each of the other sub-assemblies in the model.
