AutoCAD Inventor :: Bill Of Materials Unable To Show (structured)
Jun 11, 2013
I have a problem with Bill Of Materials in drawings.
I want to show a structured list of the top level components in this general arrangement. But whenever i select a view for inventor to create the table it only gives me to option for 'Components Only.'
I have edited the assembly and switched off the 'Components only' option in the IAM, but it still will only let me put a parts only BOM into the drawing. I have right clicked the node in the IDW browser and selected 'bill of materials' and here i have also switched off 'parts only' but still the same.
How do i get a top level BOM into my drawing?

When i use the BOM feature, i get a list but cannot get panel sizes as dimensions in a table. I can get a part ID and other not so important in for for a BOM but dimensions and sizes should be key.
How can i get a detailed BOM to include panel sizes (like a cut list).

I am seeing this "varies" message on certain items in my BOM but can't tell where the incosistencies are. The strange thing is that my part number LCVINYL is showing the correct length of material while the Unit Quantity is showing "varies". Normally this would make me think that the inconsistency is in the name only. Where should I be looking to correct this?
BTW all of these LCVINYL parts were created in the frame generator if that matters.

I changed the names and locations of my parts in an assembly, opened the drawing, and found all of the parts and names. I then looked at the parts list on the assemblies in the drawings. Even though the assemblies updated, the part name did not update. How do I update the BOM to match the assembly (I thought it would do this automatically?)?

I have tube and pipe subassembly in my assembly. When I see my BOM, each route is a subassembly but some not, and went I add balloon on pipe from "this not subassembly but in realy is one" it give me the same item number for each pipe generate in this route.
How can change this "fake" part to assembly for BOM?

How & where I can add fields that I require for my equipment. I see I can add it to the bill of materials in the assembly but that doesn't carry through to the drawing.
I see that I can add to the parts list in the drawing but i don't want to have to add the information into my drawings every time I use one of my machines.
Basically I am busy creating a library of all the machines I use. This library will then be used for numerous drawing for many different clients. I need the required info to be in my drawing from the beginning without me having to add it to every clients drawing.

I have an iassembly with iparts in an .iam file and I went to make a shop drawing of this assembly. When I go to do this, I get my parts list showing all versions of the iparts, even the ones that are not used. It will show a 0 in quantity.
This is under the "structured" view and I do not see a "pars" tab, which is what I've read I need to look for.
I've read that I have to be very careful with the way that I create iassemblies and iparts, How to make a drawing with a BOM that only shows the parts currently in use.

Im trying to generate a list of parts and assemblies that has all the quantities included in it.Ive found that if i use the structured view it does not multiply the part count by the number of assemblies, so if i export the bill of materials i wont get the actual number of parts that i require.
If i use the parts only list then it wont include the sub assemblies.the job that im working on has hundreds of sub assemblies and thousands of parts so manually adding them up is not an option.Using Inventor 2014 Pro.

I am using AutoCAD 2014. We were recently asked if there is a way to automatically update bill of materials if you change or add materials in a drawing. Bill of material is not necessarily in the same drawing? Do I need to create a table?
We normally just create a bill of material separately from the rest of the drawings in AutoCAD. They also want to be able to export it to exel

I am doing a project where am required to open AutoCAD Database and Extract Data from AutoCAD.I am using VB.Net as Front End.I am not using NetLoad.
Directly i am opening the AutoCAD Drawing and trying to access the data.
acadApp = CreateObject("AutoCAD.Application")
acadApp.Visible = False
Dim ValCount As Integer = 0
'acadDoc = acadApp.Documents.Open(Files(ValCount), True, Type.Missing)
acadApp.Documents.Open("C:SomeDwg.dwg", True, Type.Missing)
acadApp.Visible=false
Now using acadApp i am trying to extract Data as AcadApp has AutoCAD Drawing

I am drawing water pumping stations for my company, and they are wanting to do a "Bill of Material" for each job. But they are wanting to do it through the block attribute system in autocad. This actually seems more time consuming than just counting the parts and inserting the new quantities in a table.
I am drawing these with 2 and sometimes 3 views.....the problem with that, I would draw 3 views of a valve (3 blocks), and It counts it as 3 different valves.

Is there a fast, acurate way to convert a Bill Of Materials done in autocad text (I could convert it to mtext if I have to) onto a word document?
I am able to do it line by line with ddedit /copy but what a hassel.

I'm trying to sort a structured Bom View through .Net Api in Inventor 2012. I'm using Sort method of BOM View object. I don't get any error but BOM isn't changed after this call.
I've tried :
oBv.Sort("Item") or oBv.Sort("Item", False)
oBv.Sort("Part Number") or oBv.Sort("Part Number", False)

I am iterating through a multi-level structured BOMView and checking to see if the component occurrences) corresponding to each BOMRow are visible or not. It seems that only assemblies (and sub-assemblies) have valid occurrences where I can check the Visible property. All parts are skipped (returns False). My code is below:
Private Function ItemIsVisible(ByRef bomRow As Inventor.BOMRow) As Boolean Try Dim cDef As ComponentDefinition Dim cOcc As Component Occurrence For Each cDef In bomRow.ComponentDefinitionsFor Each cOcc In cDef.Occurrences If cOcc.Visible Then Return True Next cOcc Next cDef Return False Catch ex As ExceptionReturn False End Try

I am looking for a way to export the structured BOMview from Inventor to either Excel or Word. That’s all good and I can do that but I struggle to find a way to include “All Levels” of the structured BOM view. At the moment I use a “For Each item in BOMview” loop to cycle through the BOMView items.
I have also set the StructuredViewFirstLevelOnly property to False. The For Each loop does not pick up any items inside sub-assemblies.
What would be a nice way to drill down and get an item output like this:
1
2
2.1
2.1
3
4
5
5.1
5.2
Etc.

I want to place a "Parts Only" BOM view of my Parts List. In the Parts List dialoge box, when view or document is selected, BOM View grays out and defaults to "Structured". This issue is new to my work station and is not an issue to the other stations. Why? How can I fix?

I have an assembly which includes another one assembly also. So the issue is when i am generating the bill of material, the assembly which i have attached to the main assembly showing as single item with the assembly name.
The sub assembly i have attached to the main assembly by place and constaint option.does that making the problem ?

This is the first I've noticed this, but a sketch in an assembly does not allow to show the dimensions as an expression? In a .ipt sketch you can right click and the pop-up menu has an option to show the dimensions in different forms. I do not get this in an assembly sketch.
I do not know if this is me or not. It's just curious that it does not do that.

testing out using link to marked point and volumes i made a 1000' alignment, flat surface at 0, and put a generic lws 10' wide at 0% slope so i would know the real vol in my head to check. i omitted the lws link and then put a marked point at the center of the subassy and then put a linktomarked point and it put the link in ok as shown in the picture. the corridor made a top surface and if i make a vol surface all is correct.
but when i hit the comput materials > earthworks only the eg shows up.
the linktomarked point has top,datum codes by default.

Been working over an idw MANY times due to project lag.Today I opened it up and tried adding balloons to an already ballooned assembly.
The parts list has not changed, and is "structured".But, if I try adding balloons, they tag each part, not the entire assembly.
Also, I verified this by trying to add another parts list, which defaults to "parts only".
I can't show my data set, b/c it's HUGE, plus it's proprietary.

How to make the name of a material show up in the Compact Material Editor? For instance, if I double-click on a standard material, and put it into the first material slot, the name stays "Default-01" instead of "Concrete_brown_stucco" (for instance).
This isn't a BIG deal but it's just one more thing to slow the workflow down !

I am running Autodesk Inventor Professional 2010. I use FEA a lot on steel and aluminum structures but was wondering if Inventor is capable of doing FEA on composite structures. I personally want to estimate the strength of some carbon fiber tubing but wasn't sure whether or not I would be getting good data from it. I know that composites don't yield and was wondering how or if that will affect anything. Also, if you can do an FEA on a composite, any solid website to get material properties from?
