Parts list issue - only one line shows up

[dsobota]

I did some searching and have not found an answered version so here goes

I have an assembly that will not generate a parts list correctly. When I generate a parts list I get 1 line only "pos" 1, and "qty" 101, no other data shown and no other lines

NX 12

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You.

Hi,
It seems that you have data "grouped" by a certain column that have equal values.
If this is the case, you need to group by "PART NAME" column.
To do that, select the "PART NAME" column and in settings check key field.

Be sure that there is no other column with this check.

Hello Javi,

How did you get to this pop up menu? When I right click on my parts list and pick settings I get what you see in this picture. I don't see the "column" line and could not find an option to display the menu you posted.

Thanks.

Javi, ignore my last question - I found it. I have made a change and got the list to look different. Looks like I still need to play with settings as it is not the complete list yet, but it is a start.

Thank You.

Just to close this out for the general audience:

Highlight column by hovering over edge, right click, pick settings

pick the pop up menu by "Attribute Name"

Pick a new column attribute from the "system attributes" list. I picked $NAME which matched the names listed in the assembly tree. This worked for me as I don't have other attributes set up for my individual parts but pick what will work best for you.

Do you use assembly arrangements?

 

[dsobota]

Not that I am aware of, though I did not create the original file, I am just updating an assembly that was made for us by our tooling supplier. They created the assembly but did not complete the 2D

As a general rule we do not use arrangements as the nature of our assemblies does not require it.
