Working with BOMs and
Parts Lists
In AutoCAD
®
Mechanical, you can create parts lists and bills of material (BOMs), and modify
part references and balloons. In this chapter, you insert and edit a parts list, and work with
the bill of material (BOM) database.
Key Terms
DefinitionTerm
Circular annotation tag that identifies a bill of material item in a
drawing. The number in the balloon corresponds with the number
of the part in the bill of material.
balloon
A dynamic database containing a list of all the parts in an assembly.
Used to generate parts lists that contain associated attributes such
as part number, manufacturer, and quantity.
bill of material
An entity that contains attributes by default (the attribute is invisible)
that can add information to and describe details of a part in the
BOM attribute
drawing. The values of these attributes are transformed into the parts
list attributes when converting BOM attributes and creating a parts
list.
Part information for a bill of material, which is attached to the part
in the drawing.
