NOTE If you add or remove part references, the quantity value for the changed
component updates automatically in the bill of materials.
Try It: Create a part reference
Create a part reference for a component on your own. From the Annotate
menu, click Part Reference, and then click the component to locate the node
and open the Part Reference dialog box. Enter the component properties and
click OK.
About Bills of Materials (BOMs)
The BOM is the database of all parts and subassembly components in the
assembly. It captures all part references and information for parts you use in
an assembly drawing. You can view and edit the BOM information in the
BOM dialog box.
You can add, delete, and edit component properties in the BOM dialog box.
A drawing file can have more than one BOM. You can add or remove columns
or rows of information, change the order of the information shown in the
dialog box (like in an Excel spreadsheet), and insert part lists or balloons into
the drawing. See the BOM dialog box in the following image.
